[QUOTE="Twista89, post: 3251960, member: 578416"] OK I have a couple of questions about speakers. I had bought some MB Quart 5.25 speakers 4 months ago and installed them in my door. 2 months later my passenger door speaker stops playing and I take the door off to find the speaker at the bottom of the door, magnet stuck to the metal in the door. Ok Ill say the reason that one stoped working was on a bad install on my part, but I just installed a Pioneer headunit not more than 2 weeks ago and 5 days later my driver side door speaker stoped working. Both of them with the same problem I think which was broken tinsel leads. Now my questions are how can they break if the speakers were able to take more watts RMS than the headunit was putting out. Also what does broken tinsel leads look like....are they actually broken??? Because I can push up on both speakers tinsel leads and it will start working until i take my finger off. Also is there anything I can do to stop this breaking on leads? Because all my factory speakers went out because of this and now my aftermarkets are starting to do this. Also Ive read up on some speakers where it will state that it has the tinsel leads sewed into the speaker cone ( polk audio mostly) is this proven better than tinsel leads that just hang? Because I installed some db 6x9s the same day as my headunit and since my mb quarts are dead I was probably going to get there 6.5 and install those if they wont break on me also. Thanks [/QUOTE]
