[QUOTE="gamehawk55, post: 8111053, member: 645990"] As the title suggests I've got a pair of component speakers in my car (Focal PS165's) and the right side is getting slightly less power than the left and I'm wondering what is usually the most likely scenario for this to happen? RCA's? Or the wiring itself? At first I had them hooked up to my Audison LRX5.1k and this is where I first noticed it, but I just attributed it to the fact that the amp was getting a little quirky and would on rare occasions cut the speakers in and out/fade one side. But tonight I hooked them up to a brand new AQ 200.2 and I'm getting the same symptom and after tuning, I measured the voltage output from the left and right channels and I was getting 17.6v on the left and 16.2 (or 16.6v) on the right side, during a 1khz sine wave. It's not a HUGE difference. Just enough that I have to balance the speakers 1 notch to the right in order to make it sound "balanced". Wiring for speakers is all 16awg I believe and all soldered connections, and everything is wired properly and in phase. It still sounds amazing and get lots of midbass. Just a little nagging that the right side is getting slightly less power. Suggestions? [/QUOTE]
