Subwoofer in G70 s

[Tempcom]

I'd like to know how many people have a subwoofer set up with a power amp in their trunk. I have a setup and the dealership keeps blaming my subwoofer power amp for the fuel pump issues that I have in my car that is so serious that it might be triggering a lemon law.

I would like to hear your responses

Honestly, it has a lot less to do with the fact that you have a subwoofer than the fact that the factory wiring has been messed with to install that subwoofer. It all depends on how the sub was wired in the first place... i.e. where was power taken from, what wires were used for signal to the amp, what was tapped into in the OE harness?, etc. If the install shop was not careful or even a little sloppy, the installation very well could be the issue. On the other hand, if your dealership is just trying to be a hard-ass and the install was done 100% correctly, they are technically correct in denying coverage since your electrical system is no longer how it left the factory. My local dealership is cool and would let that slide (unless it really was due to incorrect installation of the aftermarket system).

As for lemon law, it wouldn't apply since there have been modifications to the vehicle that may, or may not, be the cause of the issue.

Hours derived directly from the batteries to terminals with a one ferret power cap in between. Turn on switches from the fuse box to a switched circuit. The audio signal from the app was tapped into the audio signal that exists in the lexicon premium sound system.. this is accomplished with a professional high level to low level RCA converter to go to JL audio power amp.
My question is how does existence to this power amp and the way it's hooked up of anything to do with a fuel pump? I love to hear the answer to that please

I have no idea, I'm just saying that it might. I would assume that the fuel pump control module is located in the rear of the car somewhere (close to the amp installation). As I said, it may or may not have anything at all to do with your issue. The biggest thing to remember here is that the warranty is there to cover the car as it came from the factory. It does not cover anything that you add to the vehicle after the fact. That said, the warranty on any factory part that you modify is now void. If you swap to a cold-air or change exhaust, the factory warranty no longer applies to those specific parts. Since the installation of an aftermarket amplifier requires that you splice into the factory wiring harness, technically, the warranty on that wiring harness is now void and if your dealership wanted to they could make note of that and void any an all electrical warranty. Again, my dealership is cool with most aftermarket mods but not all of them are. If it were me, I'd go to a different dealership and see what they have to say.

I still would like to reach out to anybody out there that has a subwoofer mixed with their stereo system and a G70. Please chime in.

Sorry just seeing this. There is a fuse box on the passenger side of the vehicle. More than likely they used the 12v power from the fuel pump fuse for the remote power to your amp. I did this during first install (no issues though) because all you're really doing is catching the 12v signal. Not sure what the problem is with fuel pump to advise further.

Who out there has a subwoofer in their trunk?
