Effing speakers

They come in these little gucci plastic housings - they seem to be glued in position



These just ping out of the metal chassis shelf part (but the speakers don't come out of the holder)



They are handed - one for each side



2018200402 seems to be NLA

Anyway the reason for ripping them out was to try and see why they're not working.

Unfortunately I didn't get very far.

The wires from the back of the car to the front are OK.

The front loud speakers work.

The outputs for the rear loudspeakers on the radio will power the front speakers.

I thought that the speakers were buggered because I couldn't get a good resistance reading when they were fitted in the car. They are 6 ohm speakers so I thought a reading of 6 ohms should be achievable...

...turns out I was suffering from dodgy probes on my multimeter syndrome...

...the speakers do work when I plugged them into a "home hifi" amplifier...

...so I put it all back together again.

Tip for the back seat fitting =>

Get your seatbelts aligned nicely first!



I have to speak with someone about these back speakers.

I might have to check the specifications of the front ones...

...I dunno - I'm a bit lost.
