[QUOTE="ShadowElky, post: 8413468, member: 664656"] About a week ago I was driving home and had the radio turned up and the sub turned on. Started to hear alot of feedback in one of my rear speakers. Turned off the radio as I pulled into my driveway and didn't think anything of it. Next morning the radio wouldn't turn on at all. Fast forward to today. Finally was able to pull the radio and found the fuse was blown. Replaced it and disconnected both rear speakers (they have repeatedly shorted). When I went to reconnect the radio I noticed alot of feedback. The car was off (key off and removed) and I hadn't connected the ground yet, but I could hear popping and buzzing in the speakers and sub. Any ideas on where to look? First noticed something was awry when I went to plug the antenna in after plugging up the main harness and it sparked. TL;DR: Rear speakers shorted and blew the radio fuse. Replaced fuse and now have power running to stereo even when the key is off, even with ground disconnected, evidenced by popping and buzzing in speakers and sub. Any help is appreciated.
