[QUOTE="SE7EN3S, post: 8172650, member: 658093"] Recently, I noticed my front drivers side speaker was out. Upon inspection I found that the connection splicing together from the amp to the speakers wire harness had disintegrated. When I unraveled the electrical tape, the wire literally crumbled to dust in my fingers. (see photo). I've searched around and cannot find what might cause this. Doesn't appear to be a 'burn' or 'melt' because neither the plastic connector, nor the wire rubber coating were affected. Also, doesn't seem to be a result of water damage, but I could be wrong on both assumptions. [B]Notes:[/B] Original install is only 1 year and a half ago. The speaker wire was connected with a crimp-style connector (see photo), and lived on the inside of the door panel. Only the negative side of the wire was affected. AMP: Alpine MRP-F300 4 channel amp. Speakers: Polk MM650 Components speakers. Woofer portion in question. Any help here would be really great. Thanks. [ATTACH=CONFIG]26545150[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
