The stock audio wiring in a 2000 honda accord, specifically the speaker wiring from the harness to front speakers. Of the 2 wires one is a solid color , the other a solid color with a line of a different color running its length. Does that denote the wire being positive or negative?

Thank you. Now i have a bigger problem. As i was putting the speakers back in place(components 1 mid 1 tweeter) speaker wire from tweeter to crossover touched metal. Resulting in a high pitched hum like a ground loop. How do i get rid of.? Build has a isolated battery for 4 ch and mono block.

Is the noise only on that channel?

All 4. But not the mono block. Only the mids and highs. Hums constant meaning it does not increase or decrease when engaging the volume control on head unit. So it doesnt aeem to be a ground loop.

What kind of radio do you have in the dash? Does it have engine noise?

No. Its a kenwood ddx415bt that was in when it happened. I pulled it out and put in a kenwood dmx7704s and the hum stayed. A loud hum. Reminds me of when you put an electic guitar to close to your amp and get feedback from the pick ups. Except this is a steady and continuous hum. Ground loops normally change in pitch and in volume. As ive experienced anyways. Im seriously at a loss.

A grounded non bridged speaker wire can cause similar noises. Disconnect all 8 speaker wires from the amplifier, connect them 1 speaker at a time. Listen to it after each speaker connection. If that is not it, there is a good chance the amplifier has a problem since the wire touched.

Yeah its looking like even though no fuses blew. The jx 360 fusing is internal. Most likely i burned up the front end of the amp. I have a jl audio jx400/4d im going to put in and then ill know for sure. Thanks for your assistance as it is greatly appreciated.

Just an FYI, That amplifier is not internally fused. You must put a fuse inline with the power wire. JL recommends a 50 amp fuse.

The 400/4 is not internally fused either. They recommend a 40 amp fuse. This amplifier is Class D. It is more efficient than the Class A/B technology of the 360.

I said that wrong . I mesnt that there isnt any fuses to check on the outside of the amp. That also explains why i didnt see any bliwn fuses. I was using a 100 amp fuse..
