Default Stinger RCA harness issues..

Been troubleshooting some snap crackle and pop and it appears I have a short in the rear channel of the RCA harness. Anybody else ever had this issue and how did you resolve it? I searched the stinger website for a replacement with no luck. Suppose I'll give e them a call on Monday if I cant find a resolution on here. Appreciate any info.

Are the connections tight? I had an issue yesterday where I lost all rear speakers because the rca was sitting on the tray. I taped it up and it went back to normal.

Suggest 1/2" heat shrink tubing on all RCA connections.

I believe the short to be in one of these locations.

It certainly could be brother but damn near all the snap crackle pop fun that I tend to deal with involves RCAs themselves.

Maybe grab a DMM and run a continuity check on that harness?

Keep us posted.

You've had a hell of a time with connections this week. I feel partly responsible for that, but the stinger is a damn good amp. Did you buy it new or off the forum? I'm just wondering if you could call stinger for a replacement harness.

I purchase it new from a very reputable forum member. Looks like a call to stinger tomorrow.

Called Stinger they said they dont carry replacement harnesses. There suggestion was to return the whole unit from where I purchased it for another one. Looks like I now have a 2ch stinger spx700.

It sounds to me like they are trying cut down used sales by not offering replacement harnesses.

That sucks. Support your products and offer replacement parts. I get that they have authorized resellers, but the man bought their amp based on its reputation, from a source he trusted. Give him the harness and keep the Stinger name at to top of everyonea list.
