I realized after posting here(about 30 seconds after I hit submit), what my problem was.

I'm 8 hours from home, on a work trip. I got the Kenwood BT318U Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk

It finally occurred to me that I can battery test the speaker. I had a AAA laying around, so I touched the + and - with no response. Tested other side to be sure. Right side is certainly dead. The IDs have now been replaced by a much lighter Kicker KSC6504. Sounded decent at Best Buy, and I...

New amp in, no change. One of the leads on the terminal looked suspect, so I moved it a bit and it snapped off. I need to strip back the wire some, as it looks a bit corroded on the end before attempting to give it good contact again. Each terminal has 2 wires on it, and only 1 broke off...
