[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8712710, member: 614752"] Those are indeed the two things that could cause the trouble you describe Yes, shorting a speaker wire to ground could very well have damaged your head unit and/or amplifier. Nothing to do now but guess and test replacing things until you figure it out by process of elimination. The worry being if there is a speaker wire shorting to ground and you haven't found which one, how quickly will anything new you put in there also be destroyed when your short reoccurs? You're going to really want to dig deep or replace a lot of stuff to be safe here I'm afraid. [/QUOTE]
