I've got a Sony Xplod amp and a single Kenwood 12" sub that worked just fine for quite a while, then all of a sudden my amp's overcurrent light came on and the sub is quiet as a mouse. I read in the manual that the problem is the L and R speaker wires are somehow touching somewhere between the amp and speaker box. But, when I checked the wires, they wire into the amp on opposite ends so there is no way thats where they are touching and obviously its not @ the box terminals. What am I missing here, fellas??

Are you familiar with Jonesborough?? If not, what about Johnson City or Greenville? What city do you live in?

Yeah...looks like I might be trying that with the new wire...don't know what else to do.

Hmm...well I'd say the closest city to me that you may have heard of is Bristol (BMS/Thunder Valley). I'm about 30-40 minutes southwest of Bristol and the track.

Do you know where Athens is?? I have a couple of friends that go to school @ Tenn Wesleyn.
