Exclamation Truck speaker help! Audio section didn't work.

Well as stated, I posted this in the audio section and didn't get jack for help. So I was hoping one of you guys could help me. I just bought a pioneer head unit for my truck and am planning on buying 4 pioneer TS-D6802R speakers plus an amp to power them. Problem is I've never ran an amplifier with door speakers. If anyone could point me to a good amplifier that won't break the bank, but will make these speakers shine please help. I also Have no idea what wires I'll need to use to hook them up to the amp, so if anybody knows a good wire kit for this that would be great as well. Thanks

Here are the speakers:

Get some 12-14 gauge wire and from the amp to each door speaker. You will need two sets of RCA cables. Monster or SMD are great.

This amp will work good.

It takes a while to get the wire to the drivers door because of the e-brake and rubber grommet, but fishing it through helped me.

Yeah, I'll probably just dedicate a day to installing the speakers amp and headunit all at once. Can't wait to hear the new sound though.

I've got my back left speaker not working. Speakers good and the wiring to my deck is good. Any ideas?

Sorry dude, if I could help you I would. You should try posting in the audio section, maybe you will have more luck there than I did.

Did you check the balance and the fade settings?

Yeah I did. Even hooked up a different speaker. If you trace the wire, it leads to a plug under the dash.. Ill get a pic tomorrow

I would would check that the deck is sending power to that speaker.
Or you can always run a set of 14 gauge wire to the sepaker directly from the harness to solve any ground or loose connections.
