Monster wiring going to my Power Acoustic Capacitor and 2 2005 Kicker L7 Solarbarics...on my Kicker 2000 watt amp. I've checked double checked and triple checked...And for some reason I can't get the speakers inside speakers to work. When I first finished the project, Everything worked fine but slowly the rear speakers went and the the front driver speaker went out. And its not like they died...there was no pop, crackle, fizz....DEATH. They just stopped playing. I checked wiring, I checked fuses; everything is in order. I don't know what the problem is. Any ideas? ~darp~ Originally posted by P�?�?�WD�?�?��?®C�?�?�?�?TM�?�?�N: I can do anything if i can find that powder .

You should get at the speaker wiring and disconnect the amp/radio and test each speaker with a small 1.5 volt battery, each one will click when you apply the bttery power to the speaker. If they are good, you know it's the amp or headunit. How long/loud did you play it?

I have all the the door panels off right now (the car is getting MAJOR surgery done) and I when I put my ear near the speakers I can tell that its "powered" its just not playing sound. Took one out and put it in my other car...and it ran perfectly. I'm thinking its the HU, which is a MEX-8800 i think. I still have the factory warranty on it so I'm gonna get it checked out, it that turns out to the be the problem, I get it replaced. ~darp~ Originally posted by P�?�?�WD�?�?��?®C�?�?�?�?TM�?�?�N: I can do anything if i can find that powder .

Good thing it's under warranty Yeah...in a related turn of events...I took out my HU and resoldered a few wires that I did poorly the first time around...and now I have volume..lol. But its really really really low. Like If I put my ear to the speaker, Its barely audible. And thats in All but one(front driver). So what do you think...speaker wire maybe? ~darp~ Originally posted by P�?�?�WD�?�?��?®C�?�?�?�?TM�?�?�N: I can do anything if i can find that powder .
