If you dont get anything by checking the connections you may want to check the run of wire to make sure there isn't any splits or the wire is damaged or worn through somewhere.

If you solder the wires first. As you have experianced just twisting the wires and taping them doesn't hold to well. (just wanting to clarify william, I knew what you meant)

The reason I like shrink tube, is it will never get hot and come apart. Electrical tape can, especially in hot wet
climate.

I don't like wire nuts. Yeah crimp conectors are ok, but wire nuts don't do well under vibrations, and most people use the wrong size which leads to even more problems.

I would get a soldering gun, and some shrink tube, or some simple crimp conecors an redo your wires. Then add a sub and amp. If you don't it will end up costing you alot more money in the long run.

Iplan on adding a sub once I get my rear speakers problem solved

by ksimms » Fri Jan 27, 2006 7:03 pm

couldnt i just use an amp to power the rear speakers since the factory wiring is bad

if you can't solder then use butt connectors
