That's what I'm thinking. I hooked up the RCAs that run to the rear speaker channels to the amp (I'm not running rear fill at the moment) and turned the HU crossover to throughpass, and still having issues. I thought this amp might be at the end of it's life back when the power LED stopped...

There may very well be some oxidization, as the Chevy Avalanche is known for having issues with moisture intrusion. Amp is mounted fairly solid. I really don't want to go running new RCAs through the truck cause that was a nightmare lol, but if I have to, so be it. Is there a good way to clean...

I've got an old beater Sundown SAE-1000D that's close to a decade old now, and it's having an issue where the output will go from normal to about 30% or less at random. Power isn't an issue, my 4 channel and sub amp share a 0awg feed and ground, the issue happens at all volume levels, and I...

As someone who has plenty of Kenwood HU's, I'd advise you not to go with the DNX694. Kenwood units always seem to be buggy as hell in my experience. 

If you want money for sound, a Speed3 is one of the worst cars to do it with... fuggin money pits. 

Traverse, as in Chevy Traverse? If so, RIP. You might drop a couple dB, but let's be real, a family hauler (van) is absolutely not going to be whisper quiet due to the massive amounts of glass, which is an incredibly poor sound insulator. Filling gaps between the fender and door will help block...

As a last ditch effort to try to get some volume out of my ID CTX65CS components, I decided to bridge my JAD800.4 to run just the front stage. I connected the speakers as shown in the owner's manual, set the channel to 2ch, and was advised to split the RCAs and feed both front channels on the...

Typically, stripe means negative. However, it's a complete crapshoot if some jerkoff wired it. 

Those Exodus units look stout!

Depth is no issue. Going in the doors of an '02 Avalanche. I've got probably 5" or better to work with. Not sure I'm cool with buying on FB unless I can meet in person.

Getting really frustrated. Had to replace font stage and amp. Completely unsatisfied with what I've got now. Front tweeters sound great, rear fill is... filling. But the front mids are atrocious. They sound flat and lifeless, and I have to send gobs of power at them to get any decent response...

Alright, recently I've been having a slew of issues regarding my stereo setup in my truck. After attempting to track down a crackle at high volume, a tweeter giving up the ghost in the front components, and then my highs amp having a stroke, I'm left scratching my head as to where to go from...

Hmm well I can scratch that off my list then. Well, ****. I really don't wanna send this thing out for repair, but driver circuits on class D amps requires equipment I don't have access to. 

And DC in the speakers would be caused by a failing MOSFET?
