front speakers are dead

bigjohnson4.6gt · Jun 2, 2007

about 4 months ago i bought some 6x9 kicker 2 way door speakers (2 in the front, 2 in the rear), about 2 days ago they arent working at all. I took my deck out, and just figured it was my connections in the back (all connections were electrical tapes), so i got some connectors and connected every single one, and they still dont work. I highly doubt that its the connector adapters from the factory wires to the speakers. Anyone have anything to help me out here?

I'd take the speakers out and try them on anything just to see if the work. Then i'd get a meter (a cheap one will work) and do an ohm resistance check on your wires to rule out and connection/breakage problems. If everything checks out, you may have burned out a channel in your deck. Check it with another speaker. Hope that helps.

Like 9psi 98 said just take your dvom meter and select the ohms position, Then take the black lead wire from your dvom and install it on one end of the speaker wire ( behind your radio ) then take the red lead wire from your dvom and install it on the other end of the same wire that you installed the black lead to and then read the ohms on the meter. If the wire is good the meter would read 0.00. Do this for each wire that controls the front speakers. O0 Did you use butt connectors when you repaired the connections behind the radio?

thanks guys, i forgot to put a post up saying that i fixed the problem, it was weird cause one of the 2 wires connecting from each of the 2 front speakers disconnected, so i reconnected and taped them up and its good
