Speaker issue

[redracer_13]

Hey everyone

To start I have a 1996 Toyota Vienta Grande (Camry XLE equivalent). Well yesterday as I was driving to work I'd noticed that my front drivers side speaker wasn't working at all. I've checked the balance settings and fiddled with the wiring behind the door thinking it was a loose connection. Well it still isn't working so my last thought is that a channel in the head unit itself has blown causing both the tweeter and midrange speaker on the drivers door to suddenly stop working. Just wondering if this can happen or if there is something else I should be checking. Currently the car has the stock fujitsu ten head unit with six speakers (the rears and passenger front speakers are still fine.

could be the internal amp on the headunit. or wiring, or anything along those lines.

sounds like to me it def time for a jvc cd headunit and full range whizzer cone door speaker upgrades.

ya might as well toss on door sound dampening and dynamat-quickroof while youre at it.

Well I have an old pair of speakers laying around so I might test out if I've actually blown the speaker. It might also give me the excuse to swap the pair of jbl 6x9's I also have.

well after more fiddling around I found that one of the wires in the door harness has totally snapped.....how would you guys recommend I replace it??? do I somehow replace the entire wire, or should i try and cut the existing wire back and join it together again???.....

thanks everyone in advance
