MitsuStyle - View Single Post - Speakers stopped working-- power/ wiring issue, I think

Checked it out again today. Tore the trunk carpet out, checked wiring and connections, etc. Speaker wires were fine but I didn't see the amp lighting up so I checked power connections-- good there too.

Opened the hood and in seconds I saw the problem-- I can't believe I didn't see it before. The amp's power supply coming off the battery was disconnected from the fuse. It's not secured well at all so it must've been bumped out when the battery was disconnected.

It'd make sense that this happened under acceleration too-- the engine twisted and pulled the wire away from the fuse. Then WOT pulled it completely free. The wire securement sucks so I think I have to get a new one pretty soon.
