[QUOTE="kiteman, post: 8593778, member: 658254"] You were spot on. I switched the left and right RCAs and the problem went away. Turned the car on and switched them back, problem was back. I drove around a little while too and the issue never appeared. If it's taking 9 months to show up, whatever the problem is, in switching the L/R I wouldn't have expected to immediately here the noises on the passenger side, either. So...from here I guess it can only be a few things: 1. Bad RCA Cable (singular, just one side of them); but seeing as the problem takes a while to appear, this seems like an unlikely option? 2. Bad amp, for some reason it's sending a more powerful signal to the left side, clipping the speaker that eventually kills it? 3. Bad subthump harness...some odd wiring going faulty after a long period of time? 4. Could the LOC be a problem at all? 5. ??? I'm really not sure where to go from here/what else could it be? Thanks for helping me narrow it down. [/QUOTE]
