That's it. All speakers work
Whenever I lifted my foot off the throttle to apply the brake, I would get caught on the footwell light, plus I have long legs, and wanted some extra legroom.
Looking at the schematic, I figured it out. In my case, I was installing the console delete, so I had taken the DSP and CD Holders out completely, and installed the footwell lights into the side covers.

Nice! I really like the console delete. I am average height but have long legs and it really gets in the way sometimes.

I will give this a quick try this weekend if I can get of some jumpers; don't have any wire on hand

I can confirm that the Tailwind solution does work. It's obviously the best combination of simple and effective.

I did some testing with DSP and without (jumper installed). DSP in and audio deck powered there is a background hiss with no volume. I think this is normal and has been present since I have owned the car. DSP removed and jumper in place the hiss gets louder. It certainly wouldn't be noticeable with the car running.

Is there some resistance needed to placed in the jumper to calm things down?
