Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Thanks Gizlarok - I have discovered the previous owner has removed the original amp and the speakers are just run of the stereo - which can only run four speakers.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello - any advice on how to test speakers? My dash ones are not working and I am not sure how to test if they are getting power/signal or not. They have been changed by a previous owner to some Alpine ones and I have just fitted a PCCM+. I am doubtful that they were working before the PCCM+ fitting. Many thanks in advance.

POST 2Original post

You should be able to adjust left/right and front/back balance, just play around with that and you can check all four mid speakers.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

They are physically not working. Adjusting the balance & fade doesn't make any difference unfortunately. What I am after is the voltage that I should be seeing at the dashboard speaker, so I can test if they are getting power or not. Many thanks

POST 4Original post

Just swap the left one with the right one and if the dead speaker moves you know it's the speaker not the amp The speakers have the same connectors so it's an easy test Winny

POST 5Original post

I would guess the speakers are fine. Even if they blow there is usually sound, albeit distorted. What head unit was in there? Do you have door speakers? If so, Bose or non Bose? Are all the other speakers working? The previous owner might have rewired them off a different amp or something or directly off the head unit?

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The previous owner might have rewired them off a different amp or something or directly off the head unit?[/quote] Thanks Gizlarok - I have discovered the previous owner has removed the original amp and the speakers are just run of the stereo - which can only run four speakers. I have sourced a second hand original amp to see how that works out. I may end up sticking with just four speakers. Thanks for all your replies everyone.
