Door Speakers

[Radman]

You might find just getting the door speakers is enough to satisfy the audio craving. I replaced dash and door speakers and added a small subwoofer behind the passenger seat and I get decent sound plus still hear the engine. Win/win lol! Good luck.

OK, here is an update. KevinH was nice enough to send me his old amp - this is really appreciated! I installed it today and one of the 2 door speakers started working. I then removed the amp and tested each speaker wires with a 9V battery. All the speakers that worked with the amp made a clicking sound when hooked up to the 9V battery. When I did this with the speaker wires going to the driver's door speaker, there was no click, so I have a wiring problem between the amp and the driver's door speaker. It has started raining again, so I'm going to call it a day. I've had that driver door opened a bunch to fix the micro switches, door latch and the lock assembly. There is a good change I forgot to hook that speaker back up the last time I was in there. Here's hoping!

Be careful what you test with a 9v battery.
Hook it to the wrong wire and you can damage the DME/ECU
The two things to test circuits with are a simple test light.
And A Digital Multi Meter
With a DMM you can test anything electrical on any car.
