Ha thats why. Who knows what abuse that wire took. I bet thats why its ****in up. Drill a hole in the firewall and run the wire underneath the carpet, then I bet youll get a difference. Try popin the hood and take the amp there and hook it up straight to the batt, if the amp works, then its the wire thats ****ed up

good call on the straight hookup, best idea ive heard yet. but no, my power wire is plenty safe man. its run in flex conduit and most of it is inside my plastic side skirts. im pretty sure there isnt 1 place for it to have shorted, i made sure of that during the install.

it was the amp. i got a new one and it works now. but i got a new problem lol. its all static coming from my left woofer. left tweet is clear and all right components are clear, but left woofer only plays static. connection at xover and amp is good, didnt check inside door yet. could there be a chance that its the speaker itself and not a connection issue?

well i still havent checked the connection in the doors but i doubt its that. the connections at the woofer are pretty solid looking. i also did some tests today. i switched around to different RCAs (RF, RR, LR) and nothing came outta the speakers at all. then i tried putting the speaker on a rear channel and still nothing. but there is something really weird going on. when i paused my music i heard static outta the left tweet. and when i unplugged the left RCA (to listen to music while working tonight without hearing the staticy left speaker) i somehow heard static outta the left tweet intermittently. how is that possible with no signal? also, when i had both RCAs plugged in i set my balance to completely left and i somehow heard static outta the right speaker. i have no idea whats goin on here. you have any idea?

I think you just got another shitty amp, When my amp blew, it put out static in my woofers

i better not have. but i did try switching to a different channel and it still didnt work, so doesnt that kinda rule out the amp?

i jiggled the ground wire at the chassis and at the amp, and nothing changed. i also tried switching out the xovers but the problem still remained at the left components. i guess that kinda just leaves bad comps now doesnt it? i mean, what are the chances of a loose connection at both the tweeter and the woofer?

well i pulled them today and checked each driver on my buddies reciever. the tweeter played fine with maybe minimal distortion. but it was playing off the amp too, just really low volume, so id like to send that in under warranty just incase. i hooked the woofer up and it played high frequencies but barely played the midrange and there was ALOT of static. i pushed on the cone and i think i may have felt a little scratching. but worse than that when i pushed in it would stay in the down position for a second then pop back up. like it was sticking to something then releasing. so i guess that means the coil is bad? or could there be something else? i just dont see how i could have possibly fried the coils, i KNOW i did NOT clip the signal.
