[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 8667006, member: 576029"] That means you likely have a short circuit or impedance issue somewhere in the wiring. If it routes to a factory amp, then the input may be unbalanced meaning the negative wires are grounded or tied together. Or the wiring is common ground. With a DMM, measure between the negative speaker wires to each other and also to ground. If you have low resistance for either, then the wiring isn't compatible with newer aftermarket head units. The correction is simply running new, dedicated speaker wiring from the head unit to the speakers. [/QUOTE]
