thought Id share my day...
I ran all my wires for my system today. Everything new. (deck wires, power wires, speaker wires, new grounds)
everything was full runs (no splices) testing along the way... I had already put down all my sound mat.. and I didn't want to feel any of the wires under the carpet.. so a aluminum taped all the wires down.. (again testing wires all along) then the carpet went in (glued down) I get the deck hooked up, I get the 4 channel amp hooked up, got the speakers hooked up. the 2 channel didn't get hooked up yet so I had the set of RCA going to it then I'm going to use the RCA out to run to the 4 channel. but since I didn't hook up the 2 channel I just connected the two RCAs with female to female barrels. plugged in the fuse, threw a CD in and only two speakers worked........ I spent about and hour checking all the wires and fuses with some cussing and throwing things.. I started to worry that something was wrong under the carpet... I damn near gave up... is the amp bad? last thing I checked was the barrel connecter I used... one was shot... fell apart when I unplugged it.. swapped it out and everything worked great.... and that was my day....

Haha! I'm happy for you that you checked the barrel before ripping up the carpet!

I forgot to take pics, but most of it isn't done anyway.. the wires for the 2 channel are in place but not hooked up.. (sub box not built yet) the back 6x9's are also going into the box... I was able to snap a pic to KINDA so under the seat.. my 4 channel and cap:  .
