[QUOTE="Meruem, post: 8354277, member: 664622"] I asked the shop about the speaker wires. They said the wire is 16 gauge (if i remember correctly). They said a lower gauge wire would not make any difference. They said it would be the last thing to look at. They said the speaker wires were routed correctly in the doors. I'd have to take my door panels off to confirm but I have not done that They said that all tweeters have the hissing noise. I agree with this to a certain extent. All my home audio tweeters make a hissing noise, but I can only hear it when I put my ear about 6 to 10 inches away from the tweeter. In my car drivers seat I'd say I'm about ~24 inches away from the tweeter and I can hear it at the same loudness as if I were ~6 inches away from my home audio tweeters. Also if I cover up the drivers side tweeter with my hand, I can even hear the hiss from the front passenger tweeter which is like ~48inches away from my ears. So it basically sounds like I have my head next to the speakers at all times when music isnt playing and the head unit is on. Is this the nature of after market high end car audio? My stock tweeters did not produce the hissing noise so loud. They said the next thing to try would be a better amplifier with better total harmonic distortion than the zapco [/QUOTE]
