I have the 8 speaker sound system in my 95 gt convert and my front bottom speakers do not work but the other 6 do. Anybody have any experience with this system or problem?

I'm 99% sure that if you use an aftermarket head unit with the 8" speaker system, you either have to use the integration kit that bypasses the built-in preamp in your new headunit and thusly utilizes the factory amps, or you have to get an aftermarket amp to power the lower speakers.
Integration wiring harness: http://www.ebay.com/itm/PREMIUM-SOUND-SYST...5c8&vxp=mtr You do however need an aftermarket headunit with at least 2 sets of preamp outputs and these harnesses usually don't have a ground connection so you'll have to physically ground your headunit from the ground wire coming off of the headunit to the chassis.

I had the option to do that. I had both harnesses in hand before the installation but decided to go the other way since i assume the preamp in most headunits now and days are better off the the oem amps that came these cars? So say everything is wired properly behind the hu and the only thing making the front speakers not work is the amp. Is there any way splice and connect the input and output wires in the connection that goes into the amp? This way it bypasses this amp and just runs straight off the new hu. |
