i blew brand new speakers

[Badger]

Yesterday I put new speakers in the back of my truck. I didn't reuse the infinity amp. The speakers were rated for 100w at 4ohms. Today I got in the truck and started driving to the gym. The speakers sounded great, for 2 minutes then nothing followed by some slight crackling now. What did I do wrong?

How's the gain setting on the amp? You sure an RCA didnt come loose or loose a ground connection?

Wit you blew speakers with no amp sounds like something came undone or something is grounded.

Thought he said he did not use an amp.

No amp just 6.25 speakers hooked directly to the radio.

this is a long shot, but did the omhs on the speaker match what the radio puts out?

 

[Badger]

Not really sure. It's the stock radio.

Cant see a stock radio blowing speakers, can you get to them to test them i had a set once ground on me and they stopped working and if they are brand new you should be able to take them back.

 

[Badger]

That's what I thought. I'm gonna dig into them tonight. But I don't think they've ground out, I wrapped my whole harness piece I made in e tape.

oh my bad, yea, if right off factory HU, unless it shorted the HU...if no amp, I dont see how you could ever blow them. I say take one speaker out, and see if it plays off your home speaker, etc...something that is a known working source. May be amp in HU.
I work for a speaker manufacture, and you wont blow them off factory HU power.

 

[Badger]

That's what I thought.

pull one and check, if it works, you've narrowed it down.
