I installed Alpine S series component speakers in my front doors last night. Tested them and they sounded great, so I put the panels back on and started heading home. I was driving on a smooth highway jammin and enjoying the new speakers then all of a sudden no sound front or back( the rears are still stock speakers as I haven’t got to those yet). I checked the audio fuses, none blown. Any suggestions what to look for next?
No sound

Did you do both upper and lower speakers? Next place to check would be the amp.
Thanks for your reply. I called my friends brother who has a 10th Gen Accord, and I explained my situation. He told me to turn the car on, push the power button three times and I should hear sound. Did what he said, and son of * it worked!!

Ok sounds like you disconnected battery during install correct? That's usually when that happens.
Yes, I always do. But the weird thing is I did the reset before I started to drive home, and then they quit after going about 20 miles

Sounds like you have a loose wire or short. Did you just use metra harness and clip them in? Or are you using alpine crossover ect. Do they make those speakers in different inpedence levels?
I ordered all through Crutchfield, so the lower door is plus and play as well as the tweeter except the crossover, they had to be spliced in

Your tweeters didn't have built in crossovers in line? In any case check those tweeter connections would be first place I start. I actually used these for my tweeters and the bigger version in the middle of the metra harness of the lower t to run the front speaker wire to my dsp for signal to my sub.
I just had those red splicers that you put around the wires then crimp down.

Check those connection areas. When you were separating the wires to fit them in you could have knicked some wire or something. And also check the positive or negative connection on the battery you removed when doing the work.
Yeah that’s what I was going to do is recheck the splices. Tomorrow I’m adding Rockford Fosgate in the rear deck and a JL 10” sub and JL mono amp

Lmk if you have any problems. You def want to tap the fronts for signal. This might help in the meantime.

Kicker 10" Comp C in factory deck + spray foaming...
First I want to give a shout-out to Jacob Luckey at Kicker. His customer service has been beyond amazing. I really wanted to use all Kicker products for the install because of him, but it wasn't possible. This past week while on vacation I tore apart the new car and did the speakers and sound...
