Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

they might be shorting my amp!!!

i don't know what's going on, but within an hour's worth of listening to the new speakers, my amp started making a squealing noise. after checking all of my connections, i started listening again, and in less than a half hour, the sound became intermittent and the squealing returned. after that, i rewired my entire power system with 8 gauge (up from 12) and reset the speaker wires in the terminals, and again, even sooner, the sound became intermittent again even though i was listening at quite low volumes.

just before shutting everything down until i can hopefully find some answers, i noticed that the right channel doesn't seem as loud as the left on the new speakers.
