The wire is extremely thin. I didn't realize it until later. I would hate to run a new wire, but will if need be. I unplugged and reconnected all wires on the amp 3 days ago (with an exception of the inverted wires on my front left which I fixed yesterday). I haven't had an issue since. I...

Well I'm an idiot. I believe I solved most of problem #2 . When I went to test resistance the night before last, I inverted polarity on my front left speaker. They are much more similar in volume now. Should I be concerned about the right tweeter resistance? it is 0.3 ohms lower than the left.

12.3V with the vehicle off. How do I test it with it on (with a multimeter)? Do I just put the probes against the power and ground while plugged into the amp (at low volumes)? Yeh I never touched the headunit. The cables have been installed for 6 months. All I did was plug them in. I can't...

Sorry to keep posting. I am at a loss. I recently installed an external amplifier, wires, and speakers. I installed a headunit, RCAs, and the remote wire in January. The headunit has performed flawlessly. After installing the amplifier, I had an issue where my mid drivers were not playing. After...

oh that is way easier than what I was going to do.

Thank you for the fast reply. It is possible, however they are new speakers and can handle more than the amp can push. I think I may have it figured out. An issue unique to my car that could be causing the terminal to be contacting part of the metal on the door (i.e shorting out).

I recently installed a new (everything) system. Everything is working "great" excepect that I wasn't hearing sound from the woofer of my front components (4 ohm). Every couple minutes when the volume was turned up I would hear them pop on, garble distortion, then my amp would throw itself into...

I made a mistake and have two options: 1) locate passive crossover towards the door hinge (on inside of door panel) so it takes less abuse from the opening and closing of door, but i would need to splice + solder + shrink tube additional length to the wire. 2) locate passive crossove towards...

I'm installing a 600W RMS amplifier in my trunk and can't decide on a good place to ground. I have some pictures below. You will give to excuse the lack of lighting. I have limited daylight to work with this season so I lit up the area with my flashlight. There are three holes in this...

Thanks for the fast responses.

Pretty sure I know the answers but not 100% sure: 1) if I have a 6 channel amp, will I run into problems if 2 of the 6 channels run at different ohms? What about a 5 channel amp where the 5 th channel is at a different impedance? These may be different since as I understand they tend to be...
