mids & high install problem

[wrexxy]

i don't really have anyway of testing the speaker out of the car. i can swap speakers (L/R) in the car and see if the problem switches sides

damn double post

if you cant test them outside the car it may be a bit difficult. I would go through and check your wires to make sure they are all in tact. if the are the may be the speakers. did you buy them new?

yep everything was brand new, my bet is that it's a short in the wires. for some reason i had one hell of a time trying to snake the speaker wire through the door boot and i had to friggin yank and push on them pretty hard to get them through.

I pulled one of the suspect speakers out. it definitely produces sound, but at a much lower volume than the working speaker. they also seem to cut out over a certain volume. anyway, i'll check more out and swap speakers tomorrow to test things

I've ruledout the amp, so I'm guna pull the speakers and hook them up with spare wire to see if they still have a problem or not and check the resistance of the coil. Ill update when I get a chance to do that

also, is it possible that this stuff http://compare.ebay.com/like/171113712235?var=lv&ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar

that i used as a cheap dampener on my doors is causing a short between the terminal and the door? its definitely touching both i believe

ahhh, so that dampener i was using was causing a short because the speaker terminal was in contact with it and it was contacting the door metal. i just went through all the doors and cut out all of it that was around the speakers.
