as some guys know i had my car gone for a while getting a new head gasket, when i got the car back about 2 1/2 weeks later, my alpine speakers in the back seats did not play vocals, only bass. i checked all fuses, and wires everything seems to be fine. tried the speaker in a friends car and it played. the audio guy in newton told me it was blown tweeters, but obviously not if it played in another car. any ideas?

same thing happend in my car. i spend forever going threw the wiring mess from the other owner and still didnt get it to work. i eventually ripped all the aftermarket stuff out and just went with stock speakers and a aftermarket Headunit just to have ipod connectivity and wired it all.

thats all i really have, stock speakers everywhere except the rear seats and and aftermarket headunit, did yours play only bass with those speakers or with any speaker you tried?

no lol i took all the after market stereo that was in the car out and replaced it with stock stuff and just wired it all in.

befor i went with the entire redo of the sound system i did try to find out why it only played bass, and i could not come up with why.

yeah, i think i might give it a shot. if not, does anyone any good audio stores near newton? NOT par troy, they wires up a toggle switch and push start to my car witch killed my battery 2 days and told me it wasnt their fault and it was gunna be 80 to un install lol

If you have to get prices on getting a couple of speakers installed...you might NOT be a car guy lol also i dont believe that about par troy mark is pretty helpful over there especially if he did your install

:rofl:
No issues with Par Troy here either nor have I heard anything bad about them. They usually help me out with advice even if I don't end up buying anything from them.
