[QUOTE="joeyjojojr, post: 837384, member: 560611"] Thanks, but yeah, I'm thinking that the bolts came loose on the rear speakers causing the contacts and exposed part of the wire to come in contact with a metal part of the car. I've already checked all the wiring to the speakers and they're all still connected correctly and nothing is exposed any longer. I just found this at [URL="http://www.bcae1.com/headunit.htm"]BCAE[/URL] : [B]"Note:[/B] [B] On "high power" units, the internal audio amplifier will be instantly damaged if a speaker output wire is allowed to contact anything except a speaker terminal, even if the volume is not turned up. Be sure that there is no power to the unit when making any connections. This [/B][URL="http://www.bcae1.com/brighead.htm"][B]link[/B][/URL][B] explains why the outputs will be damaged if they contact ground."[/B] After reading that I'm afraid that if my speaker did cause a short, then the H/U may be irreparably damaged (at least beyond what I can do.) Anyone out there that can confirm or deny my suspicions? [/QUOTE]
