n8ball2013 Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 sounds like your sub amp is not being powered when the bluetooth is powered on. Did you install this? Id think that the remote lead for your amp is not hooked up to the blue wiht white stripe on the headunit. Take a look at your amp and see if the power light is on.

Robert8252 Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 (edited) It's normal Nate. Bluetooth on Kenwoods only play through the door speakers. Maybe only the front even. I think you can changed it from front to full output in the menu somewhere. Look in your manual. Personally I don't like Bluetooth quality for music though.....

Robert8252 Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Bluetooth really doesn't have the quality to play full signal wise like a cd or USB plugged in does. It can be great for a normal stereo but for using it with subs it's more depressing then anything. And by the time you turned it up enough to sound like a cd you'd be clipping the shit out of all your signals.
