Need a little help

[RideThePONYgt]

my left side speakers dont come on. i got a new HU awhile ago and nothing changed. just installed new kenwood speakers and the left side comes on when it feels like it just like with my stockers. my left rear speaker makes almost NO noise at all. 94gt factory amp and all that stuff. im thinking maybe its the amp?

It might be the amp or the connections. If you installed speakers I would just run new speaker wire. I know you can integrate with factory amps ect but I found it eaiser just to bypass them.

did you have a mach system in the car?

Sounds like a bad connection somewhere. The way to test that is to follow the connections and just pull/twist/tug on the wires as you go with power on the radio. Try to isolate it to one area and you can normally track it down with out too much trouble.

Doesn't factory amp mean it's the Mach1 system? I'm with the other guy, i'd just bypass all that crap as well versus integrating.

But to me it sounds like you've got a loose wire somewhere. Doesn't sound much more serious then that. Unless the channels are blown out on the amp.

there is a premium system with an amp under the deck and then the mach. Don't let these wussies scare ya the mach system is not that hard and can sound good with some tweeking...

 

[CanaryGT]

I agree that it can sound good with modification. I just chose to re wire.

 

[RideThePONYgt]

nope not the mach. prolly just gonna bypass it all. wheres the amp located anyway?

 

[ttocs]

if you don't have the mach there is nothing to bypass, and there is no amps.

Spend the time to check the connections again. Do it with the radio on and manipulate the wire hrns's and trace the wiring. Pull/push/tug on the wires to see if you can get the signal to drop out again and it normally does not take very long.

then why didny my head unit work unless i wired in the blue amp wires? lol

 

[ttocs]

I thought just the left side speakers were out?

 

[CanaryGT]

If its not the Mach system it shouldnt have an amp. The amps are usually located under neath the piece thats bolted to the deck lid piece of your car. But you have a vert so it would be different.

like I said there are actually 3 differeny systems and it sounds like he might have the rare premium system. It added a small amp under the deck, didn't really do much though...

Only saw 2 of them in all the years I was yankin them out of mustangs.

 

[RideThePONYgt]

when i first wired in my head unit no sound would come out unless i wired in the blue amp wires. and my car has pretty much all options i think so that wouldnt really surprise me...

 

[ttocs]

does it have a speaker on the back of the mirror with mach written on it?

 

[RideThePONYgt]

nope

 

[ttocs]

was there an amp under the deck? If so then it was one of the rare premium stereos. Not rare as in it made it worth more just rare as in more confusing....

 

[RideThePONYgt]

umm im not sure actually. didnt look for it. but yay lucky me.



fuck.
