Make sure your speaker wires aren't shorting out. May need to check in the amp near the terminals for a stray wire. Otherwise it could be an issue with your amp...

Thank you for your help! Yes! I detached the speaker wire from the amp and from the crossover, ran a temporary new wire and the problem was GONE! F Yeh!!!! WOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Turns out that while replacing the kickplate by the door I pushed down too hard and knicked the wire.... It was shorting out and causing the problem. I'm very happy at this point! Can't wait to finally finish my install and enjoy the sweet sounds of victory.

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR THE HELP! WITHOUT THE HELP I WOULD PROBABLY STILL BE :idiot: BUT NOW I'M :hurr: :violin: :clap: :lol:
