Default wtf really

Ok I have blown 4 right side 7.1 and a pro 7.1. I have changed hu 2 time's. The bt amp seems to work fine. I hook up a different speaker to the right side and it works fine. What could it be it only happens on the road if I am stopped its all good when I take off it stops working. I have tryed too hook it up after it stops working and it will not even have sound out of it the tweeter on the 7.1 works but not the main speaker

It's always on the right side?

Has BT thought about switching amps out? Out of curiosity, where do you have it grounded? Are you running with AVC?

What do you mean by "his are right side as well"?

Well, Bill knows his equipment better than anybody, but I would try a couple of things.


I would choose a different ground. I would switch the RCA's coming out of your head unit from side to side.


I'm at a loss. Never known anybody to have problems with that setup, but two of you? That's damn strange.

I switched rca from side to side and still the same. The only thing I can think of we both have hog tweeter pods. Thats the only thing I can think of . Took them off today and went to the hardware store and got plugs for them to hide the holes. I am lost after that.

Well, switching of the RCA's would only change something if the speakers blew out again. Not going to change anything with the speaker already gone.


Did you tell Bill you had the Hogpod?

Yep he said the hog tunes should not matter. Question why would changing the ground make a difference? I would think I would blow left and right speakers no matter what. This is really frustrating I am sick of pulling ot the fairing.
