[QUOTE="Belo, post: 8251476, member: 660616"] Hello everyone, Hope someone here can help. I've been a DIY car audio guy for over 10 years. My system is in my sig. I have polk 6501 component speakers. Have had them for over 3 years now. I once had to redo the connection because I did not secure the crossover well to the door and it came loose, while repairing and using industrial strength double sided tape I noticed some corrosion but it never affected the audio. Yesterday I noticed my audio wasn't as loud as it used to be... both left and right sides weren't working. I took the door apart to find some corroded connections and the passenger door woofer no longer working at all. Interestingly enough Polk considers these marine grade, I've contacted them because I'd hate to buy a whole new set to replace just one woofer. I also can't seem to find anywhere I could repair the woofer. I had a 651 go bad on me and found it to be a solder joint that disconnected. I resoldered and she was good to go. I really do like the sound of these polks, but this is now the second issue with them. Any suggestions on preventing this? What's the cause and is it normal?
