Thread: Having problems guys!!!

Did the original ones work before you put in the Pioneer speakers or did they just sound like crap? Just asking because you could have a faulty head unit or amp if you have factory or aftermarket amps. Not sure which system you have. Which speakers did and didn't work before you removed the factory speakers? Get a multimeter and turn on you stereo and select it to volts, stick the contacts on the volt meter into the contacts on the factory wire plug and see if the volt meter bounces to beat of music. If it does, then you have a bad speaker. You don't have to get pos and neg right, it doesn't matter cause this is just a test. If it doesn't, then you have a bad amp, head unit, or break in wiring somewhere.

Could be a bad output on the head unit? Is it factory? Genital Motors head units are notoriously pieces of crap. I replace them on a daily basis. CD players don't work, outputs don't work, displays don't work, blown speakers, bad amps, etc. I have rarely however, worked on a GM car with bad stereo wiring. It's usually a bad component. Just my opinion. Hell, the display on my GP head unit doesn't work, and 2 of the speakers are shot, but they still work. The surround is shot around the cones. But on your car, my money is on a bad component, unless someone has messed with the wiring or the car has been in a wreck on that side to compromise the wiring.
