If you have access to a multi-meter, do a resistance check from end to end on each core while the cable is disconnected. You should have close to 0 ohms on both cores. Do a resistance check between the cores, while the cable is disconnected. You should have an open circuit between the two. Alternatively, connect one end to an amplifier, the other to a speaker and listen for sound. If nothing is heard, substitute the cable, then the speaker and finally the amplifier to establish where the fault is.

How do you install monster speaker wire for my home theater?
The same as with any other speaker wire. Monster Cable is a brand name, but it may require a special set of connectors to adapt to your system depending on the size of wire you purchase. Remember, there is such a thing as overkill when making your purchase and sometimes all isn't as impressive as it's advertised.
On a sony receiver home what does protector mean?
Hi, That's your speaker protector system. When something's not right (usually a shorted speaker wire) or the speaker itself is defective, it senses it and stops the receiver from applying power to the speakers to keep it from burning out the power amplifiers. Hope that helps, Cubby FROM DarthMurdicide: The absolute easiest way to find out if it is a wiring problem without having to disconnect and reconnect wiring on the backs of the speakers or the receiver is to use the TEST TONE function to test the individual speakers. It is a tone that to me is not stressful to the speakers, so I put the volume to MAX for the test and check each individual speaker. If it is a wiring problem, when you get to the speaker that is either blown or the wiring is grounded out somewhere (either at the back of the speaker or the back of the receiver, or somewhere in between), the PROTECTOR message will light up. I verified this procedure last night. I did the TEST TONE's for each individual speaker on MAX volume, and sure enough when I got to the surrond back left speaker, the PROTECTOR mesage came on. I pulled the in-wall speaker out, and sure enough the tweeter wiring terminal had been bent back during installation and was touching the crossover cap, causing a short. I bent it back, and voila, no more PROTECTOR message.

Your driver's side speaker isn't working and you put in a new stereo and speaker and the connections seem fine and the speaker wire doesn't appear loose How can you easily check the speaker wire?
it could also be a bad preamp or whatever there called inside the place were the speaker goes... run test leads(2) directly from the rear of the radio (at the right speaker lead)to the speaker itself. If the speaker now works you have a broken wire in the harness. It is easier to run new speaker leads than try to locate the break. This seems to be a problem with Cherokees.
Is white speaker wire just as good as black speaker wire?
The color of speaker wire doesn't matter, it's what it's made of. Also, expensive speaker wire is a rip off. You should just buy cheap speaker wires and that's good.
