STORM 2 0 Posted July 12, 2007 Hi, maybe this will be a straightforward answer that I just cant see Having replaced the front stock speakers with Alpine components , I am only getting sound from the drivers side.Right side all wired up ok with sound coming from both tweeter and woofer (and the stock dash R tweeter I have left in) Tried switching the speaker to the other side and it works, so the speakers are OK I assume the speaker lead goes straight from the door to the headunit loom - surely there's no room for malfunction here? Really narking me this :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted July 12, 2007 How have you wired it up? The standard wiring goes head unit -> tweeter -> door If the connection to the tweeter has come off then both the tweeter and door speaker won't work. If the tweeter is working, but the door one isn't, then the tweeter->door wire is at fault. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
STORM 2 0 Posted July 13, 2007 Hi dinkus - thanks for that - although now I have no sound from any speaker!! Well I tried a direct +/- connection from a speaker to the speaker out terminals of the head unit without any sound...does this mean there's a problem with the head unit? Tried all four sets of terminals on the speaker out block and none of them gave out a sound There's no fuse / relay for the speakers is there? Is there any other way of testing the head unit?

Mark_Storm 0 Posted July 14, 2007 You can test to see if there's a brreak in the wire - test the resistance in the wire from the headunit and the speaker using a multimeter. If there's no resistance then the cable is damaged somewhere, if there is resistance then there is another problem. If I was fitting new components then I would probably re-wire anyway, or more likely run them from an amp. Not sure how well it works running them from the standard wiring as it all goes through the dash tweeters. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
STORM 2 0 Posted July 14, 2007 Cheers Mark Done all that and the wiring was fine. Just took the head unit to a local car audio place and its not working there either! £300 quid and less than 7 months old! He thinks its the audio chip................:-( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
