Blown speaker or wiring issue?
Two days ago, the left speakers in my sedan went out while i was listening to a cd. the front left door and rear left door. at first i thought i blew them, but when i turned to am radio, they both worked fine. What is the issue here? they make the noise of a blown speaker when on cd, but on radio they work.

if you want to test your speakers, pull one out and do the 5v battery test... get a 5v AA or AAA battery, use 6" of speaker wire to connect: positive to positive on speaker, negative to negative on speaker... tap the positive... the speaker should move in and out. if it doesn't, your coil's hosed.

I'm not saying those people aren't right, but before you go spend upwards of $1000 bucks for a new HU, amp, and what have you, i'd get the opinion of a professional before blindly following someone on a newsgroup thats never even seen your radio etc....
