save the time, my way takes 10-20min to do and no gear has to be altered(or removed) till you narrow it down

 

ok so i went to start checkin stuff... and magically it has been working fine for the last 5 days... i have no idea, ill have to wait till it starts acting up again before i can do any checking

thanx for all the help

 

ok so it started doing it again, but im not sure if i mentioned its just the front right speaker... and i will try your step by step idea later tonight... unless it starts working again. Thanx ill keep ya updated.

 

Mine did the same as you explained. The left channel suddenly became twice as loud as the right channel. I havent tried the amp in a new car, but a previous member told me it might be becuase one of the power supplies has failed?? BTW, i was running an MTX 4002. If your amp has two power supplies I would look into that.

 

ok so i began my checking, and started by pulling out the rca's from the deck to the amp... the "static cracking" sound was still there on the right side... (that eliminates the deck) now what is really strange is that it seems that when the temp outside drops to a little cooler the loud speaker/static starts again, and once the weather warms up and i fire up the old car, it is back to normal... the static sound sounds like a grounding issue... however its only coming from the right side... next time i happens i will be checking the crossover and the speakerwires... thanx for the help
