Weird problem

[White Ram 10+ year member]

Thanks in advance for taking the time and looking.

Ok here is the rundown.

Everything that is installed is in the sig.

After first installation I noticed that I had no tweeter output on the drivers side. The crossovers are mounted in the door panels. So I checked the crossovers and narrowed it down to a bad poly coil in the OZ crossover. I did a quick search on the interwebz and found some new matrix elite crossovers and purchased them.

The crossovers arrive and I start on the drivers side and as soon as I install it I notice that the 6.5 woofer on the passenger side stops playing. WTH??

So I head over to the front stage amp and swap rcas. NO go. I swap channels............no go. I swapped another amp in and still no go. So im pissed right now! I take the passenger side apart and go ahead and swap that crossover also for a new one. No dice. I pull the 6.5 mid outta the door and check the coil and it reads the same as the driver side. So not really knowing what to do I ran a new run of wire from the crossover to the 6.5 mid on the passenger side. Yea that dint work either! So right now I am at a loss. Should I be looking @ the HU? Thanks for your time.

could be the speaker wire if its crimped in the door. I would have a weird problem when wiring up my rf power series comps, the mid's magnet would do something to my tweeter's speaker wire and the tweeter wouldn't play. So try changing your wire

Thanks for the quick reply.

I did change the wire from the crossover to the mid with no luck.

sounds like you have to start troubleshooting.first thing would be to make absolutely sure the head unit is wired correctly. once thats done and if it is wired correctly make sure the comps actually work fine. since you have already swapped the amp the head unit and the comps are the only thing left to check.

Whats to wire? The unit powers on and off with the key. The rca's come out of the back of the head unit.............three of them. Front, rear and sub. I know the sub rca is correct for sure. The other two go into the 4-channel amp. The amp is bridged.
