No, it's all stock.. H/K.. I tried unplugging the stock amp that is in trunk on right, and leaving it unplugged for hours, and still no difference.. The deck lid woofer, nor the two tweets on each side are working after the battery change.. So weird..

This thing had phenomenal surround sound, now it just seams like stereo.. Is there a DSP unit somewhere?

OK.. So we just checked My friends C32 and his rear sub isn't working either.. I told him after he got the car that something is wrong with his H/K system, because it didn't have the bass mine did.. lol.. Now we have the same sound.. bummer.. But he DID replace the battery by himself when he first got the car.. I'm GUESSING he had the same thing happen..

I was able to locate the AMP in the trunk, on the passenger side.. Didn't see an exposed fuse.. I'm a little shy to break it open to see inside, as I don't want to make it worse..
