A few months ago I realized I was getting no sound on the left front speaker, figured I had blown it cuz I like m'stuff loud! But then, discovering that the rear left wasn't making noise either, decided it was more likely a connection/wiring problem. When I isolate the speakers, via fade and balance, to see which ones are working, I typically use my left and right arrow buttons... but when the hubby did it, he used the dial. 'Supposedly' the problem was there, and once he spun it back and forth a few times, clearly 'the gunk' or whatever, I had sound on the left side again. For about a week. Now it's gone... again... and no spinning of the dial or whatever brings it back, time to have it fixed/looked at. Sooo... this morning while at the body shop for other stuff, I asked for a referral for a good car audio place, we got to talking... bottom line, both the guy at the body shop AND the guy at the audio place said that it's probably the stereo itself? And that I will probably need to replace my sound system, not just get some wire/connection fixed. Apparently it's a techie thing that's common in car stereos these days, and so they just replace the whole thing? And apparently Chevy is one of the worst offenders, with their stock radios? I just want to know if anyone 'in the know' can confirm or deny all of this before I have to spend (hundreds?) on what I thought was a minor issue. If I am doomed to buying new stuff, suggestions for that, price ranges, any help, would be very much appreciated. And yes, I will be doing the research, myself, while also waiting to see what y'all have to say! Thank you!! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
