VF SS Series 2 Redline
Any reason why the rear speakers in a ute dont utilise the fader. Fading to the rear makes it go silent
Is there any chance of easy fix?

Most utes don't have rear speakers.

If it is the same as my s1 the rear are actually subs not speakers thus why you can't fade because they don't utilise the rear channel you should be able to confirm by turning the base all the way up and down.

OK, here's the story from Holden, my brother inlaw sold me my May built 2017 Redline ute. So after many emails backwards and forwards to Holden head office Consumer department, we ute owners have been gifted with the most modern speakers on earth, yes, we are indeed very lucky... Apparently these speakers are noise reduction devices which serve to improve sound quality in the cabin. Bullshit!

This will hurt your eyes to read this, but I did own a 2004 BA XLS Ford Marlin ute, it featured ( real ) speakers beneath the fixed side windows and when I faded the speakers to the rear, the sound in the cabin it was amazing. Yes, sound being produced from the rear speakers, how crazy is that?

Holden can not and will not do anything about the rear side " noise reduction devices ", yet a station wagon and indeed a sedan all have rear speakers and the sound is magnificent.

Love my VF, just can't enjoy my music, all the sound comes from the front...... very disappointing Holden.

I got better sound in my $14,000.00 BA Ford...... lol maybe time to trade in the VF and get my BA back.

What is the difference in the speaker setup between the Series 1 and 2 Utes?

I'm not sure of all the different model or year specs, But my S1 SSV has front splits and rear sub-woofers with an amp. It also has a CD player!

Apart from the CD being deleted I don't know what other changes there are to the system.

Do the Series 2 Utes have the front splits and rear sub woofers with an amp?
