Installed speakers, now slowing losing everything
I installed my Rockford fosgate speakers in my front doors last night. When I hooked everything up and turned it on, my sub quit working. Now new left speaker has cut out. All the connections are still solid. I'm stumped

The HU is a prisoner cd mp3. With a single RCA output going to monochannel Rockford fosgate amp powering a 12" Kicker. Swapping should have zero affect on that setup but it seems like too much of a coincidence that it would quit at the same time.
The speakers are hooked directly into the factory harness with the crutch field supplied adaptors. Should I ditch those and hard solder it?

Yes, the remote start from the HU is turning the amp on and off correctly

Any news on what went wrong? I'm about to install a set (4) kicker speakers and kicker amp into mine and I don't want any goblins...

My next step would be to disconnect the audio input to the amp and connect another source, like an iPod and see if the sub starts working. I expect that it will.
If it does, leave it disconnected and out of the equation for now. Then swap the left and right channel wires coming off the back of the radio and see if your left front speaker starts working.
If it does, then you know your speaker works and your wiring is good. If it does not, then you know that it could be that connector you mentioned or even the spade connectors on the speaker terminals itself. I've seen where if wires are left loose, the window can grab a wire and pull it off of the terminal.
Let us know how ya make out.
