Speakers stopped working but sub still does

[redvon69]

I was driving my car today when all of a sudden the speakers went out. The subwoofer however is still working fine and I can hear the bass of the music. I was not touching or doing anything to the radio at the time. They just turned off without a pop or anything. I have a 2003 Lexus ES300 with factory audio/speakers. Any advise on what to do would be helpful! Thanks

Chances are, the factory amp that powers the speakers went out. Do factory amps have a protective fuse, anyone? If so, can check that.

Everything in the car is factory. I am not the original owner of the car but I believe nothing on the audio system was ever touched. I will check the fuses and let you know if that fixes the issue. Thanks for your help!

I took the car into a car audio place and they fixed the issue. I was told that it was a kinked wire in the driver-side door. So every time I would open the door to get in the wire would temporarily unkink and the speakers would work. After a few minutes it would kink up again and the speakers would go out. The car is from 2003 so it was a old and worn wire. A new wire fixed the issue for good.

How the hell did you get a kinked wire inside the door? That almost makes no sense. I've seen pinched wires where speakers still work unless the speaker wire was "broken" in a spot the speaker didn't work anymore.
