don't go to best buy they just ubber **** them up. go to an actual audio shop. i would take it out yourself start over and just try to do it again. did you solder all the connections or just twist and tape?

if you want a shop to do it why go to best buy? We did a ton of repair on cars they shorted out. If you want a shop to look at it take it to an independent, they get training from the manufacturers, and have to do better work to stay in business
