Speaker ?
I installed a new system and speakers, one speaker is not working.
I double checked to make sure I wired correctly and checked my soldering connections.
The system puts out 60w x 4, how much voltage should be at my bad speaker?
Trying to findout if I have a bad speaker or it is the system.
Thanks!

You can narrow it down quite a bit just by swapping things around at the amp. Start with the RCA inputs. If Left Front is what's not working, swap LF/RF RCA's. If the quiet speaker moves the problem is between HU and amp.
If problem is at/past amp then swap two pairs of speaker wires at the amp outlet, if the problem changes sides it's the amp, if the same speaker still isn't working it's the wiring or speaker.
If you narrow it down to wire/speaker, check voltage on the good side at the speaker, then compare it to bad side. Or just swap physical speakers once you have it narrowed down to see if formerly good speaker works on formerly bad side.
