Hi everyone,. I've had a similar issue ever since I replaced the alternator and add a new battery(was due for a new battery anyways). I also had a crackly from speaker previous. Not a huge music/bass guy, so was never much of a concern for me. 2003 SR5 V8, seems to have sport options and the JBL synthesis system.
Had replaced the head unit about 3 years ago with a Kenwood ddx9904, and harnesses all the way including what was needed to make the steering wheel controls work.
Haven't had sound now for about 2 months. Also figured it was the amp, but there doesn't seem to be any way to really test it (other than maybe take it to a car audio shop). I pulled it and opened it up and can't see anything burnt. There should be power to it as I checked the blue/blue-white wires to it and they had 12.8V. (someone else had an issue where they got fused somehow.) Someone suggested to try pulling one speaker at at time, and then do the 9V battery check on each one? Tried that on both front doors and they seemed fine. Otherwise I'd assume it's a dead amp unless I pull the head unit and find a loose/defective plug.
Anyone else have any experience. Yes I know the tweeters/speakers in the front doors are component, but seems odd that the whole system would have no sound if just one leg died.
Pulling the head today to see if there's an issue there. Thx
Cheers
