I've made a thread about this before but since the situation has changed, here's a new thread. I have a JVC GD-820 head unit, kicker ks 6.5 components, kicker ks 4x6 coaxes, kicker zx750.1 amp and a 12" L5 solo-baric. My speakers are run off of my headunit and were initially installed by some of my "helpful" friends.
I started having a problem with the speakers cutting out and only my subwoofer running. I took it to Fry's, where I had everything else installed and had them look at it. I thought there was probably a short in one of my door speakers and they told me it would be cheaper to have them reinstall the speakers than to take out all the components and test them. I did that, they said there was a short in my driver's side door and they worked fine for 1 day (i paid for them to be reinstalled, and the same wires I used to install them the first time were re-used)
Now, when I have my doors closed, I cannot get sound to come through my speakers. When I have my drivers side door open all the way, I get sound for exactly 20 seconds, and then it shuts off. WTF?
side note rant about fry's- when I first had this equipment installed, the salesman told me they could build a custom box for my sub so I paid for everything to be installed and took it in. After my truck had sat in the install bay for a day, they called and said they were not able to build me a box and that they had a temporary box available. They told me I could use the temporary box until they could build me a new one. Reluctantly, i gave them the ok because I really wanted to hear my new equipment. A month passed and still no word from Fry's. I went in to check on the situation and no actions had even been taken to fix the saw that was broken. They refunded the box and I was forced to find someone else to build my box.
ADD version- Fry's car audio department is shady and does poor installs, and I can't figure out what could be wrong with my sound system.
