From my experience I think its the speaker. If the amp fired then you wouldn't get any sound at all. I would have to say Speaker or a wire from the amp to the speaker. GL

Just remove the tweeter trim panel. If you pull from the top itll come right off. its only held by 1 clip.

They sound very clear. And powered by the alpine amp they give enough bass to please me. I spoke with a crutchfield representative and told him I was looking for a good quality 6 1/2 speaker that will deliver clear sound and bass at high levels. He recommended the JBL GTO series over all other speak...

Yea i'll do my best to help you with anything you run into. If your doing a full install the hardest things I ran into was running the amp power wire through the existing hole. I used a long screwdriver to pry up the rubber boot then slid the wire between the boot and firewall. The boot is sealed of...

When I ordered the speakers from crutchfield they include a bracket free with purchase. JBL also included a bracket in the box with the speakers. Thanks, im glad I have music again, I drive 45 minutes each way to work

Removing the factory amp is very simple. If your going to add a new amp and speakers, its running all new wires that gets annoying. I just installed JBL GTO 6 1/2' in all 4 doors and added a nice 4channel alpine amp. Look at the last page of Blown Amp? for some install pics

Amp install picsSide view of passenger side Stock amp compared to the new AlpineThis is the bracket I made to hold the amp in place. I used self tapping screws to hold the mount to the seat mount. I pre-drilled holes in the mount so that the amp just bolts right down to the mount.Amp mounted with ou...

Before and after front speaker installAfter

These are what the rear speakers looked like once I removed the door panel. I did not do anything to make them look they way they do in the picture.

Ok everything is installed and working amazing. In the end it was the speakers that were blown. In the picture below is the front speaker. I belive the voice coil went bad. In the picture im pushing on the cone to show that the speaker does not flex, the cone is seized up and wont budge.

I say that because i had pretty much the same thing happen to me. From my testing it wasnt my head unit. And if you have the 6 speaker system and your column tweeters are working fine then and amp should be working correctly.

All you need to do is get a 1/8th drill bit and remove the rivets.

Its most likely the speakers. Good thing, those are easy to replace and cheaper.

Ive done alot of research lately on the tweeter dilemma. Ive come to the conclusion that in order to run the factory tweeters I would have to go out and get cross overs and run the tweeters inline with the door speakers. By doing that I will be loosing the tweeter that my new door speakers features....

Im just sticking with the stock tweeters, for now lol. I noticed that when I unplug the factory amp it shuts down all the speakers. So I was wondering how I should run the tweeters. I would assume that I would run them directly off the HU.

Well my speakers are on the way. I caved in and also ordered my amp tonight.http://www.crutchfield.com/App...p=115I figure I might as well give it an overhaul once, and not tear my car apart twice. The only question I have left is the tweeters. I im pulling out the factory amp and running all my new...

Yes i have checked the fader. I can hear a very small amount of sound out of the speakers when the fade is all the way to the front. Has anyone used the pre-existing wiring harness for the stock amp to wire in an aftermarket or am I going to have to run all new wires?

I spoke with a consultant from crutchfield and after I told him what I had and what I was looking for out of a speaker he said those would be my best option. As to bypassing the stock amp all together, how would I go about doing that? I installed a dvd player, all new interior speakers and 2 12's wi...

I spoke to a crutchfield technician on the phone. He told me to swap the front left speaker wire for the back left speaker wire to see if it was the HU that wasnt sending the sound. When I did this I was still receiving a very faint sound. I believe I was wrong in saying I was getting no sound at al...

I just ran my test light on the amp wire coming from the wiring harness and it is sending power to the amp. I then took the amp apart and didnt see/smell anything burnt. I put everything back together and started the car up. I noticed very very faint sound coming from the front door speakers. I've c...

I havent put my dash back together yet so ill check the wires for the amp from the harness. Do you know if the amp is supposed to power the rear speakers as well as the front? I noticed today my rear speakers were very faint.Thank you,Jeremy

2 months ago I installed a sony xlpod HU with ipod interface. I have the 6 speaker w/ amp factory system. Today I started my car and got no sound from my front door speakers. I spliced the front left speaker with the back left speaker through the wiring harness and I was getting sound from my HU. So...
