Front passenger speaker- no sound
 

Today, I checked and found out that the front passenger speaker in my X3 does not work anymore. No sound at all in any mode or setting. It was working fine a couple days ago, and then it just kind of died on me. Any idea on the cause or remedy?

kick it

Ha. Indeed I did try knocking (okay, hitting) it a few times to no avail.

Have you tried tracing the wires yet?

Simplistically, either a) you completely blew the speaker, b) you have a break in the wiring from the amp, or c) you blew a channel on your amp.

Check the impedance on the appropriate wires from the amplifier to the speaker. If it measure 0 or a really big number, you need a new speaker. Otherwise, it is the amp / wiring.

Check the signal (AC voltmeter between the leads while disconnected from the speaker) at the amplifier. Signal = wiring break. No signal = new amplifier.

Thanks! Where can I find these wires? My dad has the tools, but I don't know where or what to pry apart. (I'm not at all into dealing with sound systems)
