[QUOTE="aviationbje, post: 2990202, member: 576758"] Ok so one morning the sub in my jeep got hooked up incorrectly. The positive went to the negative terminal and the negative to the positive terminal. The stereo was turned on. The breaker blew in the subs amp. The breaker was replaced but the whole system sounds shitty. All speakers sound as if they are blown or trying to put out to much base. I found some tests online saying use a multimeter to test and i got results of .003 L (it said it was suppose to be a 1.0 if working properly and extremly high or infinite if blown.) I tested a working speaker also and got a result of .005 L. Not sure if this rules out the chance that the speakers are blown. Not sure where to start though was wondering what is most likely broken in this situation. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Sorry if this is in the wrong section. I can get the system specs if needed the subwoofer and amp are fairly old the 2 fronts are less then 6 months old and the 2 speakers in the rear are old stocks. Also got 2 new infinity tweeters that are less then 6 months old along with a JVC KD-HDR1 that is 6 months old. [/QUOTE]
