No Sound From Rear Speakers???

I have a 2001 X5 with CD but no DSP, when I put the fade to the rear speakers I get a very very low sound almost no sound unless I turn it up. I took it to the dealer and they replaced the amp, still no sound and they cant seem to find the problem. Are they THAT dumb or do I have a bigger problem???

The problem likely your amp, your radio, or your wiring. (However, I would bet against the wiring as being the problem.) If the dealer replaced the amp and that did not fix it, then I suspect that your radio is broken.

All of my other speakers work how can it be the radio? I was thinking the speakers but sound comes out just very low

The radio provides a four-channel output to the amp. If the radio's rear-channels amp circuits are broken or the radio's internal fader circuits are broken, then you would get no rear channel outputs from the radio. That is my guess for the most likely cause.

If you were ambitious, you could swap the front and rear signal input wires at the amp plug and see if you suddently get rear channel audio (and no front channel audio). If so, then you would confirm that the radio's outputs are the problem.

I had a similar problem with a 323. It turned out to be a bad connection at the amp connector and the wiring. Spraying connection cleaner to the connector's pins fixed the problem.
