Recently got my cb back on the road and one thing I noticed before I quit driving it was that the rear speakers didnt work at all. Not even when I turned the fade so that only the rear would play. I used the factory plugins on the speaker side and tested another speaker I knew worked. nothing, so I figured its in the wiring and I re-ran the speaker wire to the back and got it all hooked up, I get some sound but its pretty quiet compared to the front. I made sure I didn't get the pos and neg mixed up either. Im not sure if the speakers are blown or if something else is an issue.

Is this an aftermarket head-unit, or the stock stereo? -
AftermarketComment

It's possible the rear outputs are setup as pre-outs as opposed to using the full blown power amplifier in the unit. Otherwise, it's possible the head-unit is effed.Comment

Yeah I thought the head-unit was jacked also, but I just bought a new one and installed it a few days ago and it's the same symptoms.Comment

Then it's either the speakers themselves, the wiring (perhaps there's a short to ground), or something you're doing during the install.Comment

Ill grab a new speaker tomorrow and give it a test and see if that solves my problem. Could the speaker I have now be blown and still play? It doesnt sound distorted or anything just really quite. Thanks reklipz
I got a aftermarket kenwood speaker in it now, and it sounds good if I fade to back and turn the volume up (Pretty good bass and all)Last edited by Sik93se; 03-19-2013, 10:06 PM.Comment

Good work!Comment

The old speakers may have had too high of a wattage rating and the head unit wasn't pushing it hard enough?
I purposly went with lower wattage 3 way 6x9's as my stereo sucks. One thing at a time I guess.
