hey guys.
i need a bit of help!
in my g/f Daihatsu, i fitted my old splits. The splits consist of 2 tweeters, 2 speakers and 2 mini amp looking things.
in the amp thing there are 6 slots, 2 for input and 4 for output. They are.. Tweeter (neg and pos(output)), Woofer/speaker (neg and pos(output)) and Input (neg and pos(input)). As these speakers were previously used on my car, all the wires are connected already. So the neg and pos slots on both the tweeter and woofer were wired upto the tweeter and speaker, making life easier.
my g/f has a Kenwood head unit which autobarn installed for her a few months back.
where the OEM speakers were in her car, i soldered the end of the pos and neg wires of the input slots to the wires that originally lead to the OEM speaker.
I placed the amp thing in the inside of the door using double sided tape and mounted the speakers on the inside of her side mirrors on the plastic moulding part.
Everything worked fine.. but what me being the idiot i am, didnt think about the window (btw, they are power windows), when they came down, they pulled the tweeter wires out of the amp thing. I pulled the door down again in the passenger side, rewired the tweeters and made sure everything was fine, i made sure the wires were dodging the windows path and everything was ok. i turned the stereo on to make sure it worked and it was working ok. While the music was on, i tryed winding the passenger power window down and it just cut out. i immediately looked to see if i could see smoke from the amp thing or anything else in the door, i couldnt, i couldnt smell anything burnt. The speaker seemed to be working fine before it cut out.
What has happened though, i dont think is something with the speaker itself. I am getting no power at all to the headunit. When i turn the ignition to Acc. there is nothing, no display, nothing. I wired up the driver side door as i did the passenger to fix the window prob.
My question is. What have i done?
I thought, maybe i knocked a wire, but the stereo was working fine until i wound down the window, is it possible the window knocked a wire?
Has something shorted out?
What could i try and do to fix this?
Any info/help would be very very appreciated as my g/f has cracked the shits big time and wont stop whinging at me about it now lol. i also dont really wanna pay to take it to a specialist :(
Please please help :)
If you have any idea of what i may have done, feel free to post
