slugdub Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 (edited) Just 'finished' my months long stereo building yesterday with some new subs in a new box and a new amp etc. Then today I left a parking lot and bottomed out my car (damn lot always does that) hitting the front end hard. The speakers all quit working and all I can hear is the sub. I am frickin' awe struck. Where do I even start?

siucsaluki11 Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 hmm...Have you pulled your HU out and made sure you all your RCAs are still plugged in? If youre running your door speakers off the HU did you crimp or solder your connections? If crimped poorly they could have come loose. Just throwing out some ideas. Quote woman..cant live with em...cant shoot em...guess were all fucked You might be a Redneck if you use your leftover gutters for a speaker box port... YOU JUST LOST THE GAMER.I.P.

Uh, that is where I fall on my face. I had the HU installed by Circuit City (right before they went under) and really am terribly unsure on how to pull it out. LOL, I just can't lie here. I don't know what I'm doing. I thought it had something to do with the harness coming loose in there, but wonder why the HU is still powered up then?

jizazz12 Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 what type of set up do you have? if you bottomed out as hard as you said you did it more than likley is a loose ground or power wire. start there check all your connectios befor you look ant ferther chack all your fuses as well.

But let me ask you this, wouldn't a fuse or a ground or a power wire being loose have to power down the HU? Why would it only chose to stop giving power to the car speakers and still perform every other single function, including RCA out to the subs?

siucsaluki11 Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 if he loosened up a power or ground the HU wouldnt get power i would imagine. Or did you mean the power or ground at the amp? I was also thinking it may have been that. Quote woman..cant live with em...cant shoot em...guess were all fucked You might be a Redneck if you use your leftover gutters for a speaker box port...

jizazz12 Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 if you are only running one amplifier to push your subs and that is working fine than you need to pull out your Head unit and check the harness,it's not probable that you knocked all the speaker wires loose it's more likely that something inside the radio came loose but you need to check for any loose connections be for assuming this .
