[QUOTE="smurfslayer, post: 1574831, member: 21926"] ditch auto stop / start. I too have a 2017 and for a while I did the 8” kicker behind the seat with 300w Kenwood. The reason the truck shuts the sub off is to preserve the amp. When the truck restarts from a stop, there’s a pretty significant voltage drop at the amp. I didn’t really notice until I pulled the kenwood, and redid the factory stereo. I used a DSR1, amp for the main stereo and JL audio sub/amp/MTI 10” behind the seat sub. After this, I noticed that at lights with the truck shut off, when it restarted my sound would go out for 3-4 seconds after startup. That prompted me to check voltage and it would drop as low as 9.?v at the amp, but mostly ~10-11. -- I have battery home runs power and ground, no skimping. So, I got a stop/start disable doodad. In the event I’m in stop and go traffic and not blasting the stereo I can still use the feature. If you want good tunes in the truck, auto stop start needs to go. There’s a FORSCAN setting for the Kicker amp/sub that also disables stop/start. [/QUOTE]
