Re: Rear Speakers Aren\'t Working

Can you hear anything at all when you've got your ears up close to the speakers? Well, if you're sure you don't have the fade setup wrong, and you are sending signal to the back, there are a few things you can do. If they're completely blown, you'll likely know right away when you actually see them. If they don't look blown, you can put an ohm meter across the speaker terminals. It should read a value (i dunno, somewhere around 3.7 ohms). If you get a lot higher (i.e. infinity), you've got a bad speaker. Once you've narrowed that down, it's probably your wiring. Check all the connections on both ends and make sure they're solid. That should get you started with figuring it out.

 

Re: Rear Speakers Aren\'t Working

No I hear nothing from them, and I've tried all the different combinations of fade/etc. setups, and I hear nothing from either. Thanks for the reply. I'll try to check soon if they are blown...I wouldn't think they would be, though, since my stock headunit is so weak. But I do have the volume up maximum a lot.

 

Re: Rear Speakers Aren\'t Working

It has nothing to do with how much power your head unit has. Distortion is the #1 killer of speakers not too much power. As easy as the rear speakers are to change you should pull the speakers and take a 9volt battery and connect the + and - to the terminals on the speaker and see if it moves or pops. If it does then the speakers is "probably" good. I say use a 9volt battery because you probably don't have any other test equipment around even though a multimeter would be ideal to have. If the speaker does pop or move then the problem is most likely in the radio.
