[QUOTE="Databyter, post: 6920818, member: 621750"] It sounds like they are out of phase which means the polarity of one of them is reversed from the other one. With the speakers disconnected from the AMP hook a 1.5 V battery to the Speaker wires. If you hook positive to positive and negative to negative the speaker will pop out slightly. If it's reverse phase it will pop in slightly. Just make sure they are both doing the same thing. And in most installations you will want them wired positive to positive, i.e. it will pop outward. If your amp is well marked and your speakers have color coded wires, you can skip the batt and just make sure both are hooked up the same exact way, although with the batt you can insure that they are wired with the typical phase you would want for a typical installation. Try that and then check back. [/QUOTE]
