Amp removed from car I bought. rear speakers weak.

[Mrjimmy]

I bought an 04 Escalade EXT with Pioneer system. Prev owner removed the amp.

So now I have full power front speakers but rear have VERY minimal sound.

How do I get them back to normal power? Checked fader, thats not it.

Thank you!

May have to hook up the wiring to HU spkr wires.

I've thought about that. Does that mean since they have power now, although minimal, that they are still somehow connected to HU?

Possibly. Is there amps at all?

 

[Mrjimmy]

Amp had been removed before I bought the vehicle. If I fade to rear speakers on HU there is sound but you have to have your ear a foot from the speakers.

Hmm...

Is there any other speakers in the vehicle?

 

[Mrjimmy]

Just fronts in doors and rears in doors

Wonder if the spkrs themselves are bad.

 

[Mrjimmy]

That could be a possibility, but both? And sound is not bad so to speak, just extremely weak.

I'll probably try to bypass the amp wiring and go back to direct from hu to see

At this point, anything is possible.

 

[Mrjimmy]

True. Just have to dig in and trace etc.

Thanks for the input!
