Buddy Posted February 28, 2006 Author Share Posted February 28, 2006 if you have a voltmeter verify that there is something flowing through the speakerlines at the speaker.. if you have a sedan go through the trunk and unplug the speaker and test with the deck on, if it shows no voltage the lines faulty somewhere.. or remove one of the speakers or use an extra and plug its terminals directly to the speaker outs on the deck, hang the deck out your dash to do this. if you have sound your decks good if you dont it isnt if there is sound that means your decks good and your speaker wiring is not.. rewiring it would be an excellent idea, the older subaru's use a common ground for the speakers (not the best). running new wire would also improve the sound quality.. hope this helps rllywgn u just confused me even more :-p any more thoughts? thanks rllywgn for your imput just to let everyone know i have an 85' GL wagon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack in Norfolk Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 If you have accidentaly touched a speaker wire to a 12v wire then that speaker is done. At least this is what I have ben told. If you are getting lights and everything seems to be working, but no sound, check the speakers. Good luck. If all else fails, call Crutchfield.

samo Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 If you have accidentaly touched a speaker wire to a 12v wire then that speaker is done. At least this is what I have ben told. Not quite true. A speaker can accept low-voltage DC for a little bit - i.e. touching a wire accidentally. I wouldn't do it for an hour, but a second or two won't usually nuke a speaker. I acutally do it on purpose sometimes to check polarity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddy Posted March 8, 2006 Author Share Posted March 8, 2006 well i found a way to make my radio work temporaly while i get new speaker wires . i took out the speaker harness so that every time i start it i pull the connector and plug it back in. that makes it sound and it sounds nice. i cant play it too loud or i'll have to "reset" the speakers. so with that update thanks for all your help guys. i'll keep you posted.
