Posted January 9, 200817 yr my right front speaker went silent. Channel one front tweeter still worked so I swtiched speaker two to channel one n it played. I then put speaker one into channel two n it was also silent. All I so far.. Can the channel just be bad? Edited January 10, 200817 yr by Smondo17
January 9, 200817 yr Can you swap a RCA as well to make sure that the amp is getting a signal in to that channel?
January 10, 200817 yr I'll second the RCA's as well. You haven't checked the signal line yet to be sure the amp is even getting anything.
January 10, 200817 yr Author I just was about to check the RCA's - i turned the system on and both tweeters started to work again. This has happened twice now. That channel 2 goes on and off. Didn't touch any settings just turned the car off and left it and came back to it.
January 10, 200817 yr Author Im starting to think that. Is 14 gauge a good size for speaker wire? I want to replace the factory wires
January 10, 200817 yr 14 gauge is a little heavy. Unless thats what you already have, I'd go with 16awg.
January 10, 200817 yr change the left channel speaker wires to the right side and see if it cuts off the same, then you know if its a wire or the amp.... left to the right right to the left,
January 10, 200817 yr Author i already did that tho. Says in my first post. At first the Right speaker would play Channel 1 and the Left speaker would not play on channel 2. After i got back in my car channel 2 came back.
January 10, 200817 yr im sorry your right, too much bud buddy. get a volt meter and check your rca's i cant wait to get a 100.4
January 11, 200817 yr ya thats what mine was doin when I sent mine back. tho when I would wiggle the rcas Id get sound but what was really happening is when Id do that Id also be moving a bit too and reconect the wires I had spliced together
January 13, 200817 yr Author Speaker went out again tonight. Now this was the orginial channel 1 tweeter that went out that is now on channel two. I switched around the rca's and neither tweeter worked with channel two, so i figure its the RCA connection for channel two to the headunit. I am using the rockford fosgate 4 channel rca's.
January 14, 200817 yr Author Turned out the negative speaker wire came out of the output on the amp haha gotta start somewhere
