OrionStang Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 (edited) Quick rundown; One of the mids in my doors stops working. First, checked the driver, its fine. Figure its the crossover, swap it out, still no output. So I start working down the speaker wire looking for shorts and checking the few connections there are. Get inside the door, and the final piece between the door jamb and the driver is corroded to hell. SoundQuest speaker wire, for those wanting to know. And it wasn't just corroded near the ends, it was all the way through a 12" piece. No wonder it could carry no current. How it should look, golden. This is cut and stripped about 6" from any open end (male/female spades BTW). Its almost black and crumbles between my fingers. Moral of the story, choose quality speaker wire, and check it regularly just like the rest of your systems wiring and connections.

OrionStang Posted June 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Don't know, but after checking a bunch of random speaker wire in the car, it seems to only be the SoundQuest, and only the SoundQuest in the doors.

OrionStang Posted June 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Goes to show that even the best shops/installers cut corners sometimes. I won't put them on blast, you all already know who did my doors. Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
