Radio speakers

[Denny b]

The factory radio in my 03 scooby has lost sound in 3of the 4 speakers, with only the front passenger side working. I thought it was in the head unit but a new radio unit didn't fix it. Has anyone had this happen? Is there a fix for this?

Yes! As a matter of fact I just went through the same thing with my 03. I only had the front passenger speaker working. The fix is just what you would expect, replace the speakers. I chose 6 1/2 Polk DB651 speakers (both front and rear). You can find a nice youtube video that shows how to remove the door panels. I would also recommend buying speaker wiring adaptors. It takes a small amount of "customizing" to install these particular speakers, but nothing that shows when the door panels are replaced. Good luck.

Thanks for the helpful reply, it's had me crazy for a couple days now.

No problem. I rode around for weeks (or was it months) with no rear speakers, then when the front passenger speaker died a couple of weeks ago, I finally bought that new receiver I just knew would fix the problem. Once I got it installed and hit the on button, I was very surprised to (still) hear only one speaker. Oh well, at least now I have new speakers and a new receiver. Bluetooth and HD Radio are a nice upgrade. If anyone needs a single CD factory stereo, let me know - speakers not included.
