Naz it is not your AMP. So rule that out. See the attached pics which shows which soldering points pop and cause 95% of speaker failures in our bullshit speakers. What I did was remove the cheap wire and added fresh wires and resoldered them suckas back. Afterwards I protected the new wires and heat shrink them.

Naz get some speaker wire and some extra solder, I have the gun, we can do this.

Sweet, Cisco and RB, you guys are the best...

What kind of wire? Do I get it at radio shack? Home Depot?

RB-- I'll get more soldering stuff

Just normal speaker wire should be good, someone correct me if i'm wrong, I'd actually rather have the speaker wire that has the plastic sheathing over it so I can strip a piece to be soldered and the rest is covered.

Any 16gauge speaker wire from Radio Shack will do. Make sure you heat shrink the solder points.

Good stuff. Thanks Cisco.

I'm thinking of just buying 4 BSW mid bass speakers. Replacing them, and going from there.

Best money you will ever spend!!! You should have been had them though, I was selling them for a steal last year. Sold one set to Mike and one to Richie Rich.

I remember. I almost bought them from you!

The install looks interesting. Removing and re applying glue. Easy process?

Very easy. No soldering will be need, just make sure you cut in an angle the metal points on the speaker pods where you will insert the new crimp connectors. With the pods facing down ward, the positive is the right side (red) negative is left (black) you don't use the middle prong. After I inserted the new crimp connectors and secured them, I also heat shrinked that just to avoid any b/s down the line. I also added Dynamat sound deadning to the door. I cut out a square big enough to cover the hole where you insert the pods in door.
