Premium 7 speaker????????????? Maybe 4 premium speakers and 3 non premium speakers. I ordered my 2008 HHR SS with the pioneer premium 7 speaker system. The front four speakers sound great. When I adjust the fade to the back speakers there is almost no sound. My dealer says thats normal. Anyone else notice this problem? Is the dealer up in the night?
I read your post last night and tried an experiment this morning. Move the FADE roughly 3/4 of the way towards the rear speakers then crank up the volume. It sounds like you've already done that so I thought you should know that it worked wonders in my car, maybe there is something wrong so don't trust the dealership. In my case it sounded almost as good as the aftermarket system in my wife's car and she has TWO 8 or 10" (can't remember) subs in back.
By the way, does PFS indicate Primerica Financial Services by any chance? (Just curious).

Yes, i am not impressed with the 7 speaker premium package either. It is OK, but not worth all the extra $ in my book. I didn't order it though, I bought a demo car off the lot.
I think that eventually I will upgrade. Man, that Pioneer D3 looks and sounds really nice bluonyx!

I have an 06 LT on loaner for a day or so while the SS is in for some service. The SS has the Pioneer system in it and the LT obviously does not. There is a huge difference between the two. The SS sounds so much better!

I'm in agreement on the rear not sounding all that great too.(SSw/ the 7 spkr Pioneer setup here)
The adjusting front/rear and kicking up the volume mentioned here kinda works somewhat, but it's not the same
It would be nice to have the full front/rear experience.

It would be better if there was an independent control for just the subwoofer. Then you could crank the other speakers however you wish without worrying about taking anything away from the sub. That's the way it is in our other car but then we installed it ourselves and it's an aftermarket head unit.

Since I used the Metra harness to keep the Onstar & factory amp I was able to keep the RAP. I also tapped my Overhead into it also, so everything still plays for 10 minutes then it turns off. Unless you open you driver's door or cycle the ignition.
I get text displayed on regular FM and Satellite on the D3. It's pretty cool!
