Default Help with Sailpanel subs on 02 Trans Am

Hello I have a 02 CETA Trans Am. My passenger side sail panel went out on me a month ago. I found suitable replacement subs from audio pipe. 6" 4-ohm dual voice coil. I changed out both. My drivers side is fine, but after about a month my passenger side sounds like it did when the stock one went out. I checked the wires in case something came undone. all was o.k. I even tried to putting the one good stock sub I had back in it's place and it sounds crappy too. Do I have a problem with my amp or is it a head unit issue? Any and all help is great. thanks

Try swapping the drivers side sub to the passengers side. If you still have issues, try checking your wires and/or connectors. I am in an electronics job and we always check the 3 Cs first, cables, cords and connections. Good luck.
