[QUOTE="Nu2droid, post: 8485537, member: 669310"] Ok. Thought.... I read on another forum that factor speakers are usually 8 or more ohms. Didn't think about this, but when I spliced the input wire at the radio, I spliced into the existing speaker wire and I did not disconnect the rear factory speakers. Would that do it. Would that add the resistance of the factory speakers therefore making it more than the amp can handle? If so, why does it work when I unplug one of the inputs? Shouldn't it also cut out if only one channel is being used? Edit: I dont think splicing into the wires to feed the input shouldn't do anything to the output.. just spit balling here.. Also, I forgot to mention when it goes silent... everything goes silent. Front, rear and woofers. [/QUOTE]
