    Hello,
    I would Like to start off by thanking the following members, ( phogalallen / Dan, TundraTex /Lou, fireheadman, Pudge / Sean, pughfish,Danimal86 / Daniel,Beastmode1794,Twinky /Chris and Shelbie67 / Blake) they helped me by answering my questions or providing suggestions or tips, also fireheadman thank you for letting me try your settings it help me in troubleshooting.
    This post may be slightly long also I do not have all the answers but I can try to pass on what little I have learned doing my on going install.
    My install is a 2019 Tundra / with JBL, at moment I have installed DSR1, JL XD700/5v2 amp, Focal 165 KRX20 in the front, Hertz's K170 in rear. I still have to install two JL 10TW3 also the dash 4 JL Audio C1-075ct, as for the dash I may do something different depending how the C1-075ct sound once installed.
    Completed at moment
    1) DSR1 is under passenger seat , Amp is under drivers seat
    2) ran battery wire from drivers side
    3) I used the RCA from the DSR1 to my JL amp
    2) I ran new wire from my amp to front door speakers
    3) the rear doors are ran from amp back to the aT03 harness into the factory harness
    ( I did not feel like messing with the plastic plug in the side of truck going to the rear door)
    Now for the frustration and issues, I had tweeter issues (no sound) and Bluetooth call no sound.
    I will start with the Bluetooth issue also I have seen this asked but I have not seen any answers, when you are flashing the DSR1 with the maestro vehicle Firmware, before the flash you are ask questions before you flash, there is one question that asks about prompts, (all speakers, center speaker, etc. ) there's a few options you just have to read and select before you flash.
    Now my time consuming problem, after I got the items installed above, I had no sound to my tweeters, I rechecked wiring, crossovers, all checked ok, I tried 9 different tweeters, I ohmed the tweeters all tested good but no sound at tweeters.
    When I originally received my DSR1 back in March I flashed DSR1 in this order
    1) maestro vehicle Firmware
    2) BLE firmware update
    3) Then the Rockford flash
    I did not start my install until this past Friday 8/16 but before I installed the DSR1 Friday I re-flashed in the same order as above, Sunday I googled until my eyes Bled looking for help, Monday I called JL & Rockford support also James at tech12volts, no one had any answers.
    Per the chat with maestro, was told If my tweeter and door speaker are on the same output channel, and the door speaker are playing then the DSR1 is sending sound.
    Called JL audio tech, going through the issue with them, they had me remove the input from amp coming from the DSR1 then had me connect my iPhone to the channel at amp saying an outside audio source would isolate the amp from the DSR1, to my surprise the speaker and tweeter played with the iPhone connected to the channel at amp. JL said the amp is working as I can hear the mids and tweeter, said the problem is before the amp, the amp is not the problem.
    So base on my call & chat to JL / maestro and all my wiring checked out I asked (fireheadman) a member on here (www.tundras.com) if would let me try his working settings, I loaded his settings in to my DSR1, still had same issue no sound in tweeters.
    So now I am really stumped was told amp is good, DSR1 is good, my wiring is good, loaded a different software settings from a working truck and I still had no sound at tweeters.
    Doing my googling I ran across a post By Dara in the maestro forum on updating the DSR1,
    Upon initial installation, you must FIRST update the DSR1 from the Rockford site, then update on maestro website, update DSR1 module through the weblink updater, if there is a BLE firmware then do that update first, then start the configuration vehicle flash on DSR1.
    So in a nutshell I re-flashed in the below order,
    1) Rockford firmware flash
    2) BLE firmware update
    3) maestro vehicle Firmware ( NOTE: Set Prompts before flash)
    reloaded my preset settings from the phone app that I saved and my tweeters started working
    Sorry for the long post but just wanted to share some of my issues the fixes

    So what setting did you choose for the Bluetooth to work? I’m having this issue too. If I turn the audio up to absolute max I can barely hear the person on the phone. I can’t get the audio output to a high enough level to hear with the engine on.

    I had a weird break in the speaker wire of a tweeter on my K170s. Speaker wire looked fine but when the wire moved in one specific area sound would cut out. I had to cut this section out and reattached both ends. No history of pulling on the wire or anything like that. You could try running new wires from the mid-woofer to the tweeters. I agree....if the tweeters are connected to the mid woofer and the mid woofer is getting sound then it's not the DSR1 or amp....it's something at or after the mid-woofer.
