Hi guys, new S15 owner here in Okinawa. I've also never posted in a forum before so please don't rip me a new one as I am still learning how to navigate the page. I wanted to change out my door speakers to a coaxial set-up so I didn't have any tweeters sticking out of the door cards. I installed the speaker (rocksford fosgate 6 inchers) on the driver side using the original terminals/wires and tested it before I put everything back together. it worked at first but then stopped working soon after. I got home and cut the wires and replaced the terminal connectors. still nothing with the speaker. When I go to start my car, I get no response outside of pure electrical. All my dash lights and overhead lights work. Headunit works as well, but nothing with the engine. I replaced the battery and still nothing. I am not savvy on fuses or relays or what not, but I pulled all fuses from engine bay and under the dash and everything looked fine. Any Idea on why this may be happening?

That's what I thought at first! Had some guy look at it and say my bushings were worn out in my starter. Replaced the whole thing and it has been running fine ever since. I thought it couldn't have been a coincidence that as soon as I plug in a new speaker my starter dies but maybe my luck is that bad. Thanks for the response though! We live to fight another day.
