[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 6886933, member: 576029"] if you mixed up the speaker wires, that could result in noise and one speaker being quiet. you're not using an external amplifier, correct? you're powering your speakers from the Pioneer head unit? where did you ground the head unit? i ground head units to the vehicle floor - a mounting bolt of some sort that is to bare metal. i don't typically use the factory ground wire. how is it quieter? does it sound different - i.e. no treble? if you adjust your fader and balance to isolate each speaker, does it sound different or is it just quieter? it's possible it's a bad speaker. you could swap speaker locations (left vs. right) and see if the problem moves - that would identify the speaker or the wiring as the culprit.
