[QUOTE="xtahoex, post: 8647244, member: 675208"] Here is what I have done so far... Knowing that the Sub channel is still working, I took the RCAs out of the front and rear of the head unit and tried them in the Sub channel. No change, No sound from the components. I then pulled all of the components and tested them with a 9 volt battery. 3 tested just fine, the one that was smoking tested bad and is a goner. I then tested the head unit by removing the new Sony and replacing it with an old Pioneer Premier that I had. Again only the Sub channel worked. This leads me straight back to the Amp. It must be the culprit. The question I have is why. I was careful during the install, I would be absolutely shocked if I nicked a wire causing it to short (but I guess its possible). I think more likely its a quality control issue with Soundstream? I am waiting on a call back from their tech support and I will most likely have to send in the Amp. The bad thing is, I don't think they are going to cover the cost of a new set of speakers. Based on all of that, any differing opinions? Thanks again. [/QUOTE]
