[QUOTE="sregan21, post: 8712034, member: 680612"] This is a long story that happened over about a month so I am going to try to keep it short and simple. First my subwoofers went out not sure if they're blown or not (amp still on). Next came one of my back door speakers, followed my one of my front door speakers. I was left with two door speakers until one day I started my truck and my speakers started screeching and I mean full blast worse than nails on chalkboard. Then my headunit turned off, which I fixed by replacing the radio fuse. So I pulled the dash apart and when I took out the front RCAs the screeching stopped. I plugged in a new set of RCAs into the headunit to see if maybe the RCAs when bad some how and the screeching stopped but the music played extremely faintly turned all the way up, now only out of one of the front speakers. I plugged in a brand new subwoofer to see if the sub amp was receiving any input and nothing played, yet the amp is still receiving power. Now in the research I have done so far, I believe I either have a short in one of my speaker components or I have a bad head unit. I have already ordered brand new component speakers that I will be putting in soon but I am hesitant because I don't want to risk the possibility of them being blown. Some questions I am wondering are if my headunit is fried or if I have a short could it have possibly fried my amplifiers? [/QUOTE]
