You can have the wires either way, it just flipped the phase by 180 degrees, however, if you have different speakers in different phases, it will sound bad. You dont necessarily need to find out which one is positive, you just need to make sure they are all in the same phase with eachother. It...

I want to help but i am very confused with the way you worded your question, could you try and be more specific?

I've had this exact problem, it was inconsistent voltage for me. The sub plays nice at low volumes but when you play it louder it sounds bad because the connection wasn't good enough and the voltage was doing crazy things, check all your speaker wiring as well as your power and ground wires...

I personally wouldn't replace the speakers in the car because the ones you have are probably close to the same quality you can buy unless you wanna spend a fortune. I have a 2012 Ford Fusion with subs added and the stock speakers sound great. With that large of a trunk you have a lot of room...

have you been monitoring the voltages going in and out of the amp? it could shed some light on the subject

have you been checking voltages? it could be poor voltage supply or something with the remote wire. Seems like a very odd problem. More often than not, if the amp is on with no protect light it is receiving 10-12V through the power cable. This does not explain why it will work when your fan...

What is the model of sub and amp you are using? it will differ based on the impedance of them.

For your first problem, can you just turn up the gain on the amp for the speaker? If you can't you might have to fiddle around with the headunit settings or get a piece of equipment between the headunit and the amp that will boost the signal. Foor the second problem, are you able to post a...

A lot of times, cars will have 2 fuses for the radio. The radio will power on but the speakers wont play, the fuse under the hood is for the radio power, which I'm assuming is the one you checked. The one that runs the speakers is in a different fuse panel usually located inside a panel on the...

What he said ^^^

you need to be more specific with what you are working with, that amp model number doesnt exist, and there are multiple versions of that subwoofer each with different impedences

It wouldn't hurt, but it might be easier to sniff it out by testing the voltage as you go along, first check the voltage on the battery terminals, then from the negative terminal to the closest side of the inline fuse, and again for the furthest side of the fuse. Do this when the car isn't...

the range you use indicates the maximum voltage it will read, so the 200m will read up to 200mV or .2V. So the 18.7 means it is .0187V, are you sure it is set to DC Voltage? If it is set to AC then it will give a value close to zero. The icon looks like a line with another dotted line next to...

not from houston but a quick internet search showed this with good reviews, and if you have a nice car I'm sure they will take good care of it. If you really wanna be sure, maybe take them a case of some nice beer so they will feel more inclined to make you happy. Custom Car Stereo | Houston...

Can you check the voltage at the terminals when it starts to act weird? I've had the same problem where it would be going in and out of power because the fuse was damaged, at first glance it looked fine but further testing proved that i neede a new fuse. make sure you have a good healthy...
