[QUOTE="alifaith10, post: 8583525, member: 673380"] So yesterday I unplugged my sub to take it out of the trunk to make some space for some things. Flash forward to today and I notice everything sounds weird. The sub isn't playing anything and neither are the door speakers. The only stock speakers are the rear seat ones, as the dash speakers and tweeters are aftermarket as well as the amp bla bla bla. Those all work. So I made sure the sub was properly connected, went through every setting in the head unit, reset the head unit, traced the sub wire from the sub to the amp to make sure it didn't tear anywhere, checked every **** fuse in the car (under the wheel, in the engine, the amp's fuses) and everything checked out. The sub was NOT receiving any power when I checked with my multimeter, so... WTF MAN? I have no idea where to go from here other than 1) check the door speakers 2) check the head unit Somewhere there is a reason for no power getting to the door and sub. Anyone smarter then me have an idea of what it could be? Literally all I did was unplug the sub, take it out of the trunk, and put it back in. I electric taped the leads when it was unplugged. Head unit is Kenwood DNX691HD. Amp is Kenwood 10" downward with a +/- input. Amp is Kenwood Excelon XR 900-5. Speakers are RCA, sub is speaker wire. [B]Latest update, [/B][B][SIZE=8px]please try to ignore the trolling[/SIZE][/B] I plugged my home stereo speaker into the sub leads. Worked 100%, all bass. So what's up? Did I blow my sub and my door speakers? Everything else checked out. I'm assuming the same thing will happen if I do it with the door speakers, so basically I need 3 speakers now, great. Wondering if I can troubleshoot the sub itself or test it in any way? Perhaps just plug it into my TV where I got the other speaker from and see what happens? Lol. Anyone have a clue why/how this may have happened? Would touching the sub leads together on accident somehow fry the door speakers or is it all coincidence / some other issue going on somewhere else? Have had the set-up nearly 4 years and have tried everything in the thread, and have just nailed that the speakers simply aren't working [hence swapping out the sub with another sub worked]. [/QUOTE]
