Boy have I learned a valuable lesson. I thought I was careful attaching the wires, but I've learned that too much lead can cause an arc. I looked behind the wall and found the positive wire of the left was passing completely through the coupler and nearly touching the positive pole for the right...

Thanks. If the testing suggested by Al.Anderson doesn't work, I'll look into that.

Thanks for the tip. As I've done all my testing I've cleaned up the wires and insulated ones that looked like I stripped too far. First I wired up both speakers using wires outside the wall. They worked fine. Then I hooked up the left speaker using the wall wire and tested again - no problem. I...
