Speaker out on new 195S

[znewm]

2021195S stereo problem. Installed siriusXM tuner to stock system, everything worked great but wanted better speakers. Installed Skar 7.5 speakers, and the rear starboard side speaker stopped working. All others are fine and sound great…switched port and starboard speakers, and rear starboard still out. Hooked up one of the OEM to rear starboard line…not working. Got a new Fusion head unit from Fusion and installed it. They felt it was a blown channel when I talked to their tech. New unit didn’t improve rear starboard speaker line being dead. Disconnected the negative cables on the battery to attempt a hard reset…starboard still not working. Now I’m completely stumped…any ideas?

Possible the wire got crimped/cut?

Looked VERY carefully at the wire as I had to use a rotor zip to make the hole larger, and not a nick or mark on it. All speakers worked fine and was all good until speaker install…switching left side and right speakers resulted in no change. Total mystery…

I would look harder at the entire length of wire or, if possible, just run a temp new speaker wire on the floor of the boat to rule it out.

Yes, I could find the speaker wire somewhere else in the loom and make a jumper….I guess it’s worth a try to test if a break occurred. Thanks.
