Speakers i am having trouble hooking up my two lighting audio 6x9 speakers to my sony xplod amp. The speakers worked for about 2 hours then they got really quiet and they were making a clacking noise and then they stopped working alltogether. I dont kno if they are blown or they are hooked up wrong or what. So f you could explain exactly how to hook them up i would gladly appreciate it.

You probably had the speakers crossed if the amp is higher than the speaker wattage most likely you blew the speakers rather you burn the voice coils up on the speakers

Ok well this is easily checked with a ohm meter see what the resistance is then if ok you might have a problem with your amp wire the speakers direct to the amp do not use ground on the car to negative on the speaker the amp is making its own ground called a floating ground do not hook the speakers together cause then you might put the in series or in parallel this is dangerous to your amp will make it work harder. so put the positive of the speaker to the positive on the amp and negative to negative same for the other speaker
