That bastard back speaker gremlin

[VTPREDATOR]

ive done a search and found out that im not the only one it happens to. but it seems ive been struck by the rear left speaker gremlin. it dont work. i only bought the car 2 days ago, and i noticed this when i was installing a set of fusion 6" speakers. has anyone figured out what causes this.

ps. it still has the standard headunit atm

loose wiring somewhere? bad connections? **** headunit? im guessing its in a vt by your username, havent had any experience with them myself.

Have u checked the stereo to make sure that the speaker hasn't been faded??
Have u tried another speaker in that spot?
Could b as Troy said, bad wiring, crapped out Hu. . . .

Could aslo b a cut wire somewhere. . . . .

Its happened to me aswell. My back 2 speakers arent working on the vt, i defently know its not the speakers coz i connected the same speakers in the front and they worked perfectly. I got a feeling its my channels on the stock vt headunit. I do think its your headunit. Many people have experienced this problem too, when they replaced their headunit all speakers worked perfectly. Does anyone know if you can fix this problem with having to buy a new headunit.

get another stock unit, wreckers or holden dealership. other than that, try and get it fixed.

Just had to completley re-wired my left-rear door. The harness gets squashed (from where it exits the pillar area) as the door is closed. Of the 12 wires in the harness, 9 of mine were cut right through. This may be your problem.

Take the kick-step off and identify the speaker wires there. Run a couple of wires from there (before the possible break) to your speaker. If it works - that's your problem.

yeh, i traced the wire right from one end to the other, nothing loose or cut. i ran a new wire through and its all working now. must of just been a shitty speaker cable

 

[danls1]

How do u replace the cables. Is it difficult?

 

[DaveSch]

Are you talking about replacing the wires to the rear doors or to the speakers on the parcel shelf ??

 

[danls1]

Just the rear doors
