So all my speakers took a poop on me..

[CB7H22Los]

Yes pretty much as i put my cd in it started playing the music..it played for like 10 secs then it got really static..then it just went silent..none of my rears or fronts worked..and when i turn the car off and on you can hear like a blip of static go once or twice but that's it..anyone have an idea of what it could be..?

[almostJDM]

head unit possibly if they all went at once

[sw33tstyl3]

did you do all your wiring?... you could possibly have a bad connection from the headunit to possibly an amp or straight to all your speakers

[CB7H22Los]

wel there's no system in..all i have installed has been the headunit..the headunit works perfectly fine minus there being no sound coming out of the speakers..:/

Headunit failure is more likely than simultaneous 4x speaker failure

How do you know the HU works fine? Have you tested it w/other speakers?

We need some pics of the hook up too.

I will bet money one of your speaker wires is grounding out somewhere. Did you try turning it on again?

[CB7H22Los]

well i didn't install the HU..it was installed at best buy wayyy back when i bought it brand new..im pretty noobish when it comes to anything audio so don't know what to check for regarding grounds..any points on where to look..i will take my whole dash today and see if i can try it in my boys car..thing is the HU has some anti theft bracket thats a bitch to take out but i'll see what i can do..

[CB7H22Los]

ok so what was wierd is that when i got in my car today (i haven't had the time to check my HU, etc.) as soon as i turned my key for the power the radio turned on and the speakers worked for like 3 secs then it went silent again..would it be a ground issue??

It does sound like something is grounding out. Your best bet is to remove the deck and rewire it.

[wherm]

One of your speakers could be grounding out causing the deck to go into protect mode. If you have a digital vot meter, set it to continuity, put the black probe on ground, and with the headunit unplugged check all the speaker wires with the red probe. If your meter beeps, you've found the bad speaker, or speaker wire.

If you don't get continuity on any wires, set the meter to Ohms and make sure all your speakers are around 4Ohms.

i would say to check all the speaker wiring see if there in snug and not touching any metal and then take the head unit out and check the wires as well as the antenna. smell it to if it smells burnt if yeah then you blew a fuse but then the radio wouldnt work. but thats just to take some steps for process of elemination. you know?

The very same thing happened with my friends 93 cb7.

I found out that he had a ground problem with his front speakers grounding out cause they where mounted directly to the metal door with out the plastic factory pods.

One of your speakers could be grounding out causing the deck to go into protect mode.

That is definitely true. I had a Kenwood that did that because one of the wires on my rear 6x9 was touching some metal. Usually (if u have a decent deck) the deck will tell u its going into protect mode so atleast u know what the hell is going on. But sometimes not so that may be your problem.

[Sarthos]

Check continuity first. Otherwise the problem may be that your headunit's internal amp is failing.

Unplug all the speakers and test them one by one until the hu cuts out.
