Speaker quit Posted by pme [Email] (#1496) [Profile/Gallery] (more from pme) on Thu, 19 Mar 2015 05:31:23 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Hi all
2003 9-5 Arc -- Prestige (9 spkr) H/K audio system
Yesterday afternoon, I started the car and as the radio came on, I heard a "pop" through the audio system, and noticed that the sound was less rich and full. No distortion, just less full, for want of a better word.
When I got home, I did some poking around, figured out how to get the test mode working (where the sounds jumps from speaker to speaker individually), and crawled around listening.
As best as I can tell, the driver's side rear parcel deck speaker is silent. The passenger side seems OK.
I search the boards for a while last night, and saw mostly posts about trying to upgrade speakers or levels of audio system, but not much about a single speaker being kaput.
Does anyone have any experience here that might help point toward speaker, vs amp, vs head unit? My gut and wallet says try the speaker first, but looking for thoughts.
Thanks in advance.
