[QUOTE="ctleng76, post: 2708069, member: 279002"] If the wire and speaker are both truly free of defects, then the only thing left is the receiver. You do need to bring it in to have it looked at (if it is worth it). If it is an old receiver, you need to ask yourself if it is worth the money to have it repaired. A technician is going to charge a certain amount of money per hour to check it out and repair it. See if you can get an estimate to repair it before you decide to have it done. If it will cost as much or almost as much to repair it as it did to buy it, then I would replace it with a newer receiver. The overload signal usually indicates a short in the speaker wiring or the speaker. Make absolutely sure it isn't the wire or the speaker. Also when wiring up the speaker, make sure none of the strands from either of the wires is touching the other wire or terminal. It only takes one strand to cause problems. If the stripped wires are a mess, it is a good idea to re-strip them before reconnecting them to the speakers. [/QUOTE]
