[QUOTE="leon, post: 1910812, member: 568813"] Some earlier reading for the curious... [URL="http:////forum/showthread.php?t=168695"]http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=168695[/URL] Let me take the pleasure of annoucing to you ca.com junkies that my system now works!! [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG] Today I decided to go through all the wiring very carefully, starting with the power wire. I immediately noticed they didn't crimp it well, and only got like half the wire in the ring terminal. So I went to Home Depot to buy a new ring terminal and quickly fixed that problem and repositioned the fuse holder since I had to slice about a quarter inch off the wire. After the power/ground wire checked out, I moved on to my subwoofers. After I pulled my subwoofers out, I cursed the stupidity of Best Buy. I told them exactly how to wire the subwoofers last Saturday, yet they managed to screw up. The only thing that was correct was the jumpers and that's because [B]I[/B] adjusted them myself in front of the "experts" and told them to wire the speaker wire to the 1st positive and the 2nd negative (the jumper was hooked to the 2nd negative and the 1st postive).
