Start cart twice for audio!,
Weird audio problem.
Picked up a 2013 gs conv 3 weeks ago.
Car came with an Alpine iLX 650 hu, a JL XD 500/3v2 amp and the ZR650/570-CSpxo crossover system.
Additionally, there are two sub woofers in the rear location.
The crazy thing is 2 or 3 times of every 5 starts, I get reduced volume from the rear sub woofers,
motorboating from the tweeters but no sound. The door woofers are silent.
The radio is functioning, the rear volume will change with vol control even though it is muffled.
The amp green light is lit.
The kicker is, if I shut the ignition off and restart the car immediately, the whole system functions normally.
It is almost like a power on reset happens and everything works as designed.
I am lost. My next move is to take the hu out and look at the wiring and modules.
Trying to find the ignition on power lead to the radio, but have unable to locate what fuse it is.
I want to try a power on/off of the radio while the car is running.
Anyone ever run into something like this?.
Thanks.
Latest quirk I discovered:
If I press Accessory before I start car, the audio system works as designed 100%
of the time. There must be some timing issue if I go right to start first.
Need to get to the wiring!

Thanks.
I didn’t get any info from the dealer. I asked him to check
with the customer who traded it in it was a one owner.
Got nothing.
I was going to wait until I got a back up camera.
May check this weekend. It is driving me crazy.
