    have bluetooth jbl audio system, I hooked up after market amp to left front speaker, amp cancels the signal from oem radio for phone blue tooth mode. Do i need to put diodes between speaker and amp? Any thoughts?

    Thanks

    Let me get this straight. The bluetooth module is sending a signal to the factory amplifier which then goes to the speakers. You have unhooked this amp, added a new amp (to just one speaker?) and you're confused as to why this arraignment doesn't work?

    Diodes are a bad idea by the way. Would not recommend.

    let me clarify, the jbl amp is still hooked up, i am using it to get signal for my audio control line converter for left and right. however when i hook up the left front speaker to the after market amp it cancels that channel. if I unhook the oem amp to that speaker the channel works, they both can't work together, I was told I need to put two diodes in line. how do I keep the blue tooth phone and the aftermarket amp working together?

    Stock amp>>>Audio Control LLC>>>>Aftermarket amp>>>>Speaker

    At NO POINT....should the stock amp be connected to the speakers in any way. Disconnect the stock wires from the speakers.

    they are not hooked to the speakers but the jbl amp has to be hooked up to be able to get a signal to the rear speakers, so I have left and right. my system sounds amazing. It should fozgate 1000 amp powering 2 IDQ V3 10" subs and all doors have infinity kappa perfects in them. My crossover is Audio Control, my problem is that I can't use the blue tooth from the factory head unity and my system. It appears that I would need to run a separate speaker just for the bluetooth, which I could do, but where to locate it would now be the problem.
