Entertainment Electronics 2nd Gen Most liked posts in thread: Radio Speakers Go Silent

It's got to be a loose connection or over heating amp. I would think even the base R56 unit has a separate amp. So you've got connections at the back of the head unit, the amp, and the speakers. I know in my car I store stuff where the amp would be. If the amp was there it would got hot.

An additional thought I hope isn't it. A short happening from a wire rubbing metal.

 

Do you have the HK stereo or the basic radio? It could be the HK amp is going into some type of thermal shutdown until it cools off to a safe operating temperature.

Not 100% sure about anything R56 but that sounds logical and I highly dought it's your speakers.

 

If you find a short it is an easy fix. Lengthen it! :crazy:

 

The R56 has somewhat of an odd radio. As far as where to check the plugs on the radio I haven't a clue. Hopefully someone who has had their radio out can give you some guidance.

If all your speakers are going off I'd suspect the radio & not the speakers. If it was a bad speaker I'd figure only one would be dropping in & out, not all of them.

 

First thing I would check is the various plugs in the system that are easily accessible. Being it's a 2nd gen car I'm just not familiar with the plug locations.

 

Bad ground?
