    Default Speakers cut out

    Just wired two subs and a 4 channel amp up, the subs work fine but the speakers have cut out. i was thinking becuase i dont have a RCA splitter for the amp so i can bridge it? Either that or when i ran the power and RCA's under the floor i cut the 6x8's speaker wire somehow and apparently this can earth out all speakers?
    I am so confused and don't know where to start, It can't be the wiring itself becuase the speakers worked half an hour before i hooked them up

    Your going to need to be really specific. Start by listing all the components you have, and how you have wired it up.

    Check for loose leads or wire contacting door frames etc. My speakers were cutting out teomporarily after i connected my dor speaker wires and only installed one speaker, as it turns out the previous owner had only insulated one the door pairs, not the other. They touched the door frame and speakers went "....." all of a sudden

    Two MTX 10" subs and a 4 channel alpine amp, two 6X9's on the parcel and two 4" splits in the dash. i ran the two RCA remote, and power wire down the driver side of my car and i was thinking maybe the 6X9 speaker wire snapped and is earthing on the body or the floor?

    Just fixed my own problem. Unplugged 6X9 speakers from the headunit and the front two kicked in, maybe the RCA was sucking the power through the 6X9 wire, so i hooked my 6X9's to the amp and its all sweet exxcept i have no power to my headunit now, the read wire coming into the car has no power in it ( it should spark when turned on if its earthed) so i have speaker wire runninng from under a fuse in my fusebox to my red head unit wire just to see if it all worked but i cant find out why i have no power. It will only eject cd's and accept the cd ?

    I wont try and make sense of the entire post there.....but your head-unit problem sounds like the accessories wire has no power. This could be two things, 1) The fuse has blown 2) The wire has become disconnected from the head-units wiring loom.

    Sorry it is hard to describe the problem and i did a Sh** job at it lol, the problem i have is that i have no accessories, my fuses are fine so it has to be the wire from the loom
