[QUOTE="Slayer16102, post: 8785246, member: 676644"] In an older install with alpine SPS 610-C's a shop did this.[ATTACH type="full" alt="36715"]36715[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="d620c1527addff3c8bfcad96e13fe7b1.jpg"]36716[/ATTACH] After cleaning up this mess when I installed kicker CSC6.5's in the doors I now have this. There is hardly any bass whatsoever from the mids. [ATTACH type="full" alt="2.jpg"]36717[/ATTACH] It seems like they cut two wires, then ran a new double set of wires off of each wire they cut. Was this the right way for them to do this? Should they have used wirenuts that could be exposed to the elements? What is that big black rubber coated thing thats hanging right over the speaker right in the way when the door panel is installed? Should there be so many wire nuts and butt connectors to a door speaker install? What's the best way to clean this up? A shop did this install two years ago I never would have imagined this would be behind my door panel. All of these splices are exposed to the weather that runs down thru the door panel. [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_1690 (1).JPG"]36715[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="image0.jpeg"]36718[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="image1.jpeg"]36719[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="image2.jpeg"]36720[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="image3.jpeg"]36721[/ATTACH] If you look at all of the wires you will notice some are a little frayed too so I need to clean this up asap. Any advice here would be appreciated. I am curious if they did this install correctly or was their a better way than what they did. What is the best way to clean this up since I am only using a single 6.5 now Is this neccessary to be in the loop at all?[ATTACH type="full" alt="4.jpg"]36722[/ATTACH] Here is the original C5 corvette door setup, before all of the splicing that shop did.[ATTACH type="full" alt="c51.jpg"]36723[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="s-l300.jpg"]36724[/ATTACH] It had an 8 inch sub in the doors and 3 inch tweeters factory.
