[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 6885630, member: 576029"] what he means is that one of your speaker wires is shorting out. this may be at the speaker itself, behind the head unit, or along the speaker wire run. all it take is a single wire strand to cause this problem. most likely, your speakers are fine (and Alpine is much better than Sony, i'd put the Alpine's back in). What you need to do is pay an installer to diagnose the system. you do not have the skills, knowlege, or tools to do it properly. you won't even know where to look. we can teach you, but you have to be patient, and willing to do a lot of reading and research to understand electrical terms and concepts. you also need to buy a digital multi-meter (DMM) and learn how to use it to measure voltage and resistance. for starters, you need to remove the head unit and inspect the wiring harness installation. if you want, just take a picture of it (non-blurry please) and show us. we can tell you if the methods are poor. next, take pictures of the speaker wiring connections at the speaker. if you see any bare copper wire - the connections are bad.
