Well much to my dismay I discovered that the rear speakers are not working at all in the family ride, a 2002 Olds Bravada. So far I have tried removing and reinstalling the fuse and playing with all the controls front and rear.
After doing some research on the net it appears this may be a common problem, blown speakers. At first I was kinda sceptical that both rears would blow at the same time but it appears this happens quite frequently on our rides.
So do you guys think the speakers just blew, or should I be checking something else first. Is there an easy way to check that I am actually getting output to the rear speakers. I don't have a spare speaker I can swap in, so can I just use a volt ohm meter to do this?
If it is just the speakers what size do I need. Any brand/ type that you guys can recommend. I put a set of Infiniti Kappas into my truck that I really like and am leaning towards if I can get the proper size to just drop right in.
Also it appears I may need a special tool to remove the door panels. Do I really need this tool or can I use something else I may have on hand? Anyone got any tips on removing the rear door panels, and possibly the fronts for future speaker changes?
Oh yeah, just a little more info, My Bravada has the stock in dash 6 cd changer head unit with the rear seat audio controls. I don't have any auxiliary equipment like a dvd player or whatever else the aux input may control.
Thanks for any help the site can give me. Oh yeah if this is not the proper area for this post please feel free to move it to that area.
