pgh Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I have an installation of in-ceiling speakers, using 4-conductor wiring. Well, the wires were mixed up in a connection, with the positive connections going to one speaker and the negatives to another. After the mistake was corrected, neither speaker will work. Are they ruined, or can they be repaired? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestonTom Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 If I understand what happened .... it is probably the output section of the amplifier that was damaged. Is there any chance that the amplifier's (receiver's) fuse was blown in the process? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgh Posted January 13, 2010 Author Share Posted January 13, 2010 I don't think the amp was damaged. I connected the speakers to another amp that I know is functional, made sure the connections were correct, and still no sound. Is there something that should be checked within the speaker? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakeg123 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Have you tried to hook different speakers to the amp to see if the amp works? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgh Posted January 13, 2010 Author Share Posted January 13, 2010 Haven't checked the amp. I'm more concerned with the speakers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WMcD Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 There is nothing you could have done with the wiring which would damage the speakers. That is assuming you didn't actually get them working and blast them with an amplifier or somehow wired them into the a.c. mains. OTOH, you are going to have to dope out the wiring to get things back to normal. Wm McD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
