[QUOTE="na96ek, post: 8669693, member: 632406"] To make a long story short, I’ve had my current setup running untouched for nearly 5 years. Just a Rockford fosgate punch 150.2 running my front two 6.5” door speakers. This used to be combined with other amps and subs so positive and negative battery wires are all 0 awg and Amp is properly grounded, big three etc. everything was perfect. I recently decided to upgrade my door speakers and was trimming the plastic in my door panels to fit a deeper speaker, my glass was in the way so I put the key in for a second to roll the window up, and stupidly left the speaker wires dangling in the door skin and I heard the passenger speaker scratch, knowing I was shorting the wires in the door, I quickly shut it off. I know better then to have the amp on while doing wiring but I was forgetful. Anyways after hooking everything back up I am now getting engine noise through the door speakers and a large bump when I shut the car off. What is most likely the fix for this? Did I fry my app somehow? It still powers fine and plays, I’m just getting interference now. I know everything is hooked up good as it’s worked perfectly for years. I’m thinking either my head unit ground melted a little or something has happened to my amp? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have new speakers on the way [/QUOTE]
