    Did you wire them with the crossover? Which speaker is not working, the mid range driver or the tweeter? Did you try plugging the old speaker back in?

    yeah i currently have the crossover set up, and the left side sounds great..but still nothing from the right....tryed all speakers on both doors...they all work for the left...and its the whole setup not just the mid on the right side....im almost thinking its a short maybe somewhere:confused:..i used a voltmeter and there is juice comin thru and im pretty shure it would explain the soft ringing coming from the left but only for a sec and a bit of small static comes out the speaker.

    Yup, sounds like something is shorting to ground somewhere. Try swapping the left and right speaker wires at the amp. If the right side is still not playing then you know the problem is downstream from the amp. Take a run of speaker wire and run it straight to the right side speaker from the amp and see if it kicks off. If so, pull out all the old wire and re-run it.
