Car Stereo Replacement in RV Problems
Hi all :) Our Mirada had a Jensen Car Stereo installed in an outside compartment. It worked great but started acting flaky and died. We picked up a cheap Pioneer to replace it. The wiring is reall...

Just as ScottG said, you could have a mismatch of speaker impedance vs amplifier impedance. The stereo will have this shown on the identification sticker somewhere on the case, and look something like 2-4ohm out 4-8ohm, ect. The speakers will also have a sticker on the magnet indicating 4, 8, ect.
If the impedance between the two are not matched, you will have lower sound quality and increased amplifier heat. Two 8ohm speakers being wired in parallel equals a 4ohm load, which would match the stereo amplifier impedance rating.
Check these numbers and you may need to modify the speaker connections.
