    Default Help!

    Found out my 2 left tower speakers weren't working from the people that did my annual. They said the speakers were blown but they aren't stereo guys so I wanted to troubleshoot before ordering new speakers. Checked rcas, speaker wire & wires at the amp and behind the head unit. I wanted to launch so stopped troubleshooting.

    So next trip out did a little more digging but still didn't have time to get into it. Swapped RCAs at head unit and the left speakers still didn't work, then I noticed 2 of my subs weren't working either.

    They are both on separate amps so makes me thing it's a RCA splitter behind amp rack? But again I didn't have time to take the rack off.

    Any ideas?

    Disconnected RCA Sounds about right if all left channels are out.

    All tower speakers blown on one side only, with the other side all in good shape, is possible but unlikely. And if it does turn out to be the case, there may be a serious problem elsewhere in the system to be determined before replacing the faulted speakers.

    Had me thinking on the drive home that maybe the installer has a RCA coupler running to the head unit to extend the wires and maybe it was disconnected. Then I realized that there's only 1 set of rcas running to the head unit & my cabin/bow speakers are fine. So maybe it's behind the amp rack. Not sure how it could come unlogged back there though.

    Just some closure:
    Loose RCA connection behind amp rack. I threw some electrical tape around them & zip ties.

    Bad news is I found out my stereo battery isn't holding a charge and dropping below 10v. Going to take to autozone tomorrow for a heavy duty jump. See if that brings it back to life.

    Battery is bad, the Cranking amps is the issue. They are replacing under warranty (Thank God), it was an expensive battery haha
