Speakers!

Post by suzuki boy »

I tried to searched but i suck at it :oops:

Alright i have been hooking up some speakers in my car this morning in the frigan heat and they go awsome :cool: untill you turn it off!

Then you turn it on and they no workie :bad-words: !

To make them work you have to re do up all the earths.

IS THERE ANY REASON IT'S DOING THIS? IS THERE SOMTING EASY TO FIX IT?

THANKS

OK

I have a sony xplode cd player with 2 6X9's running through a clarion amp( all on it when i brought it) and i went to put some little 4" speakers in through the amp as well!

Now the 6X9's always work but you can get the little speakers to work untill you turn the key to start it then only the 6X9's work!

ANY HELP WOULD BE APRETIATED!

Sounds like one or both of your speaker wires are grounding. Check that the wiring is correctly insulated and the connections on the back of the speaker are not touching anything (door skin).
