well i recently realised that the speakers on the left side werent working and i dont understand why...they just went out all of a sudden...the front and the back doesnt work....i tried the balance and fade on the head unit but when it comes to the left side you dont hear anything...please help

 

It would be great if we knew that it was stock speakers/ h.u or not.

 

oh sorry bout that...the speakers are stock but the head unit isnt...its a dual something with a 2.5inch monitor built in

 

Here are some things to do, check connections, you might as well go ahead and put in new speakers to improve your sound. If that doenst work, it could very well be your head unit and there isnt likely to be a left or right channel fuse thats popped like in the old days. So, you might need a new head unit.

 

dual = ca ca

 

If you have access to a digital multi-meter (you can get them really cheap at radio shack or where ever) :

1) Unplug the speakers and test the resistance of them, if you get a reading other than 1(infinate) then you're fine there. If you get an infinate reading then you're speakers are totaly shot, go get new ones.

2) Pull out the reciever, turn it on and test the voltage across the + and - terminal of either speaker right at the back of the unit, if you get a reading(it'll be bouncing all over the place,) your reciever's fine, your wiring is cut or crossed somewhere. If you get no voltage, your reciever's shot, go get a new one.

3) If it's not the speaker or the reciever run new wires to the speakers and it better work, if not... you've got me.

 

maybe it's your left ear that's not working, try some q-tips

 

same issue speaker front left doesn't work. cut lines blue and grey black left speaker works with jumper lines but speaker in left front door is red / green red. weird because right front speaker is going out on red/ green red. on radio set to right front only and it works. left only nothing.
