need help asap

I was intalling my subs in my car and they didnt work so I decided to check if the amp worked. I connected the amp to the back speakers and all 4 speakers just died and went off. They dont work but the radio still turns on and all the buttons work. What happend and what can I do?

the speaker didnt get loud and blow a little sound came out and then they just went off? did something in the radin go bad or the speakers?

Your speakers coils are probably toast, you cant hook an amp made for a sub up to a pair of 2 ways, not even just to test....

It sounds as though you may have an amp problem. I doubt that every one of your speakers suddenly took a crap. You don't mention what kind of amp it is, but even if it's a 1200 watt mono sub amp, it absolutely will not hurt any speaker hooked up to it for a test at a low volume level. Is everything hooked up correctly? Did the amp work OK and then suddenly stop? Is this in a new installation?

I'm with Bloomy on this one, it is very unlikely that all of your speakers just popped at once. To me it sounds like you may have a grounding problem. I suggest trying to run the ground wire directly back to the negative terminal on the battery just to be sure. I know that you don't want to but it will eliminate one definite possibility.

Common ground problem with the speaker outputs???
