Jvc kwv960 12ga speaker wire, 0 ga split at a fused distribution block feeding Rf t400x4 powering focal components in the front and 6x9s in the rear. I wanted to add the Bose 3.5”s back into the mix and was set on this idea. It occurred to me I may have wired these rears wrong. Posted and hijacked some dudes post and was able to decipher series vs parallel wiring in 4 ohm drivers. Theoretically adding a 2 ohm to the mix on each of the rear channels. I chose to believe these Bose are 2 ohm, which when I physically dmmed one it appears to be 4ohm. This is more of a side note but relevant. I believed the system was in full working order. Upon disassembly of the rear deck I seriesed those rears to present the theoretical 6ohm load. Did that and realized then the one channel isn’t working. Upon wiggling the rcas to the rears the thermal light flickered.I removed each of the rcas in an attempt to see if the rear driver corner would work on another channel but, no. Upon switching rear rcas only the rear passenger side works w either rca in the rear passenger spot.I’m unsure wtf to do now. I used the dmm to determine the Bose 3.5 show a 4ohm load so in their previous state of 2 4 ohm drivers in parallel presented a 2 ohm load to each of the rear channels.I changed it to series theoretically presenting an 8 ohm load. Have I damaged the amp or speakers?I’m doubtful it’s a connection as everything was solid and was reconnected firmly.</blockquote>
