I just put in a new CAR710W receiver to get better sound and car play. Old head unit was bad, so this was the green light.
I verified all colors and got the pre-wired harness from Crutchfield as well. My 2 door 2000 VW Golf ALH is a non-monsoon system. No amps, and 6 CD removed. I am using the original speaker system, eventually (or hoping to) upgrade soon.
The problem is that the main speakers in the bottom of the front doors do not work....I am unsure if this also was an issue present with the old head unit. BUT the tweeters are still playing sound. This is happening on both doors, and I have verified EQ and moved the balance/fade area to test. Rear is fine of course. I highly doubt that the connections would be broken to all the speakers. I also experience clipping at volumes over 25-26 on all sources.
I can't quite grasp how the main speakers are not playing as the tweeters are wired parallel into the woofers. Very strange. Although I heard that they can go out...
Has anyone got any pointers to what we should be looking for as my mind is exhausted.
