Alright, I just wanted to give an update on the speaker situation in my cruiser.
Found out this past Friday, that the radar scanner that was installed, was directly wired into the amp and only half of the problem.
Once the audio tech removed the aftermarket wires from the amp, all the speakers on the dash started putting out sound. It now sounds like it did before I turned the volume off.
Well, when he went and removed all the door panels to troubleshoot those speakers, he found out all the speakers had been removed and they also removed the tweeters from the rear doors.
Not only that, all the connectors that plug into the speakers had been clipped off as well. So I have bare blue and red wires hanging in between the panels and the doors. They also yanked the sub in the back as well...smh!
I ended up getting a set of speakers installed in the rear doors, so those are now working as well. On the front doors, the speaker brackets had been removed, so I ended up swinging by Best Buy and grabbing brackets so I can install the speakers in the front doors.
Now that I know how to remove the door panels, I'm just going to install the front door speakers myself instead of shelling out more $$$ than I originally intended. I take it the red wires are my hot, and the blue is my ground? I could take a rear door panel off and look, but I figured since I'm posting this I would just ask and see if anyone replies before I start working on this project.
