Default Aftermarket amp on factory deck - chimes

Putting a system into my 2016 F150 XLT and keeping the factory deck. Adding two amps (sub and 4 channel) and all new speakers/sub. Has anyone had an issues with the chimes (door/seatbelt/etc)? I'm assuming they get significantly louder. Any workarounds?

Try lowering the gain on your amp.

The actual tones will probably change significantly, at least mine did.

After adding an amp and JL Audio Fix 86, my chimes don't send much different in volume. However, they definitely have a noticeable change in the type of sound.....

I lost mine, still trying to figure them out.

anybody figure this out? I am using a Fix82. w/ a HD9005 amp
would a FiX-LSA-4 solve this? I know that wiring harness is for if the channels (from head unit)are muting.

wonder if the fix82 or 86 were powered up before the vehicle is started if that makes a difference?

any help is appreciated.

Had a lot of help from a member here, but we figured it out. Had to reprogram the IPC and ACM. They did change in tone and timbre, but the volume did decrease significantly.

After installing a KTP-445U amp, have lost the chimes through speakers, only coming from IPC now. Maybe once a week, it's coming back from the speakers. After a while, it revert back to the IPC !

How did you fix yours ?

For anyone who is brought here by Google, here is what fixed this for me this morning.

I jumped into Forscan, went to the ACM AS-Built module and changed the value of 727-01-01-XXXX-1XXX-XXXX (my default vaule) to the value of "D". This disables front/rear speaker detection on the F150. The amp being inline with the setup may or may not cause a disruption in this open/close circuit check so by disabling it I believe that the ACM will default to sending the chime/backup sounds to the door speakers again.
