[QUOTE="na96ek, post: 8669705, member: 632406"] I’ve not touched anything other then the plastic and metal in my door panel to trim for a speaker with a deeper magnet. The pos and neg wires for my driver side door speaker were pushed down inside my door while I was cutting and therefore when I turned the ignition on the to roll up the window they must have been touching the metal effectively shorting the two together for a couple seconds. The only thing I have tried was disconnecting the left channel (the one that shorted) directly from the amp to see if it would go away thinking I may have melted some of the speaker wiring but I didn’t have time beyond that last night to troubleshoot further. I’m getting a static when the headunit is first powered on, alternator whine, and a thump upon turning the headunit off. All of this was untouched working perfectly since the install for nearly 5 years, and only started after I touched the two speaker wires for a moment. Later I am going to try disconnecting the amp to see if it’s in my head unit as my rear stage is powered directly off the headunit and only my front door speakers are amplified externally [/QUOTE]
