Yes I do and I think I may have a fix for it. I came out of Walmart and I loaded some things in the back with my doors open. I got in shut doors and guess what this time I started the truck and radio was on and no sound but radio on. First time from cold start not working. Powered off and on, then sound came back. So when I got home I went to my trucks Menu, to Settings, to MY Vehicle, to Memory and switched it from Standard to Memory ON! Guess what, so far the radio has come on every time, every senario I duplicated over and over getting in, leaving keys in, out and doors open for a while, cycle timer out and try before and after lights,power goes off. It has restarted with the accessory switch on or complete start with sound every time. I hope this was what was wrong, time will tell. You all may know more about this function, but it appears to have fixed mine.

Read owners manual page 36 and I think this really may have nothing to do with my problem as it says it is for 2 ways to navigate through the menu to the main menu,lol! May just be intermittent come and go thing. So far still working right.

Hey fellas, Just wanted to let you know I went to turn the key over to accessory and I got sound. Turned key on over and started truck and sound went away? I don't know whats going on, but I can power it back off and on then sound.

I'm going to tackle this project this weekend, including installation of some infinities. Question for those that have done this - Are you accessing the stereo from below like the first post, or can you do it from the top through the tray? Is there room in either spot for the amp? Where is the plug in the back of the stereo unit? Near the top or the bottom?

I removed the panel and stereo for access. I put the amp(s) below the stack on the floor behind the black plastic trim piece.

I got a bad amp according to the installer and I sent it back and reordered off amazon. I had it reinstalled and all is good except for some very low clicking sound that comes through the speakers only when the radio is on but not when the CD is on. I called clarion install tech line and he said it is probably my power supply from the head unit. Well I got tired of paying to take it apart, so I currently took it on my own to investigate and took it apart to take a look. I am going to finish up checking my connections in the morning and put it back together.

You guys that don't have the flow through console have a lot more room to work with. My FX is absolutely cramped with the amp and pac plus the RCA's!

Default My FX2 with flow through PAC/AMP

Here is a shot of everything in there. The Clarion xc1410 is behind the PAC.RCA's all over the place. Cant even see the other set.
