I have been noticing for quite a while though that my subs don't seem to get as loud as they once used to, without sounding distorted. When I was looking at my speaker wire from the subs to the amp, I noticed that the wires were dirty, like there was a lot of dark grease and stuff on it. I am obiously talking about the actual wire that goes into the speaker terminals itself not the plastic casing lol. Anyway, could this be giving me an adverse affect on my subs SQ and output?
The reason why it is a problem for me is becuase I just barely have enough speaker wire to make it from the back of my box to the amp. And I mean JUST BARELY. Maybe for that reason alone I should get some new wire!
did you get the dollar store speaker wire lol cause thats the only wire that gets like that. it gets like black with some sh!t on it. and it dosent work very good.
If thats the case, replace the wire because from what it sounds, it needs to be replaced reguardless of your issue. Its not going to hurt to replace it and if if the new wire does not solve your issue, at least you eliminated one of the possibliities instead of constantly wondering if its the dirty wire. None of my wires have any dirt/grease or whatever you call it on them, and they arethe same wires for almost two years now.
