xxgokouxx Posted October 30, 2014 Report Posted October 30, 2014 So for my mids & highs.... I'm running factory amp ---> Scosche SLC-4 ---> JL g6600 ---> MB Quart speakers. One of my channels (front right channel) went out. So I began troubleshooting...... -I started off with the speakers: Took them out and hooked them up directly to the amp for testing. THEY WORKED! So I put them back -I assumed it was the RCA signal: swapped them around for the amp, THEY WORKED TOO! So I put those back -I assumed it was the wiring between the JL g6600 and the speaker..... Took a multi-meter, put it on OHM setting, and checked, it read 4 ohms directly at the amplifier, and directly at the speaker. What could be wrong?!?!
finkster Posted October 30, 2014 Report Posted October 30, 2014 When you took your speaker out to test, did you hook it directly up to the channel on the amp that isn't working? DAT 4125------>RE XXX comps active Eclipse cd7000 I serve drunks for a living
islandpride684 Posted October 30, 2014 Report Posted October 30, 2014 Are you using the stock speaker wires from the factory amp on the JL amp? Build Log http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/186921-blk9te-07-yukon-slo-mo-build/page-3?hl=%2Bblk9te#entry2881410
xxgokouxx Posted October 30, 2014 Author Report Posted October 30, 2014 When you took your speaker out to test, did you hook it directly up to the channel on the amp that isn't working? Yeap, the channel's indeed working too, which is what's got me stumped. Are you using the stock speaker wires from the factory amp on the JL amp? I'm using the stock speaker wires from the factory amp to a high-low signal converter (Scosche SLC-4), from the scosche SLC-4 I have 4 RCA wires to the JL G6600
islandpride684 Posted October 30, 2014 Report Posted October 30, 2014 So you ran new speaker wires from the JL to all your speaker locations? Build Log http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/186921-blk9te-07-yukon-slo-mo-build/page-3?hl=%2Bblk9te#entry2881410
Skullz Posted October 30, 2014 Report Posted October 30, 2014 Bad wiring Just because you got a reading doesn't mean the other wire is good which could be the problem your having. 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2
xxgokouxx Posted October 30, 2014 Author Report Posted October 30, 2014 No sir, between my speakers and my JL G6600, there's factory speaker wires.
Skullz Posted October 30, 2014 Report Posted October 30, 2014 Stock wiring is just barely capable to do what is needed in a car to save money and weight. 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2
islandpride684 Posted October 30, 2014 Report Posted October 30, 2014 Yeah, I would run new wiring from JL amp to all your speaker locations Build Log http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/186921-blk9te-07-yukon-slo-mo-build/page-3?hl=%2Bblk9te#entry2881410
