Sounds like maybe hot wire grounding to me???? But, you can always take a long speaker wire and test with front connection see if speakers working fine?? If so, just run a new line of wiring back to the radio from the speakers???Worth a try?? I usually do this since i dont use a DMM? Just be sure to disconnect the existing supply to the speakers you want to check though.Not expensive to do.Ya I wouldnt recommend any BOSS products.You can Buy better Equiptment/brands for your money.An old 4 ch. Alpine amp Duo-b will be better and may be able to pick up a Whole lot Cheaper,or even 2- 2ch for under 75.00 on amps?A 100.00 sony head unit even... if you decide to change and keeping a budget???Curious to hear what you find wrong
