I installed a new CD/MP3 player before going across the country and back in September/October. Everything was fine when we left San Jose. On the way back the rear speakers stopped working and the front speaker sound really fuzzy now, I went back to Circuit City and they said that there was no connection to the rear speakers and that I must have overpowered them with my new stereo. So I had put in 5 1/4" speakers with an adapter in the rear by the air-conditioning. When it was all done, nothing worked in the back. The installer said that there is a VW supplied amplifier under the speedometer console and that I must have blown that. The new stereo does not require an amplifier so he can just bypass it. Am I being cornswoggled or is this true? Does anyone have a pair of good speaker for the front? Or is there an option for new front speakers? They talked about putting a tweeter in place of the old speaker and a 5 1/4 "cut into the door panel. Sam W 63 singlecab 70 bay Westy 87 Vanagon Westy |
