[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 3047629, member: 561023"] That sounds like a highly likely possibility (the severed wire thought) If you know the connections (power, ground, remote, RCA cables, speaker outputs) are all solid then the next logical step (to me) is to test the questionable output on the amp with a speaker you [I]know[/I] works. If the known speaker then plays on the questionable amp channel then you know the problem doesn't lie in the amp at all. The next thing is to trace the wire all the way from the amp to where it attaches to the input leads on the speaker to see are there any bad patches, tears in the insulation where the conductor(s) might be touching metal, severe pinches where they go under a seat or through a door hinge or whatever and then finally to the speaker itself to see if maybe it simply became disconnected??? Actually - now that I think about it the above ^^^^^ is probably backwards. Those are the right steps, IMO, but in reverse order. Check the connections at the speaker first and then follow that train the opposite direction until you get to the amp. Barring all else you'll want to verify that the output on the amp is working properly. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
