Greetings all!! This is my first post to the site. I recently bought a 2004 Ram 1500 SLT. I hated the stock radio and went on to install an aftermarket radio (Pioneer DEH-X55HD). I also purchased the Metra CHTO-02 interface so I could use the Infinity amp (7 speaker). The install went well and I called Metra tech support twice just to confirm my wiring to the radio harness. The CHTO-02 did not come with RCA plugs (radio does have the female connectors) so I did a hardwire to the harness as instructed by tech support. 90% of the install went well except for one thing. It seems the "Fade" control on the radio is controlling the "Balance". When I first turned the radio on, I had right channels only. As I adjusted the radio fade control, the left channel came up BUT is still low and muffled. The rear speakers seem to be OK (I think) yet have a lot ot treble to them. The right side channel also seems to be carrying most of the signal and is VERY bassy (even with EQ adjustments). I sent an email to Metra tech support and haven't gotten an answer yet. Any ideas???
