All my speakers stopped working...NEED HELP

[DavidV]

I need help getting my speakers working again in my 1997 honda prelude. The other day, I heard a shorting noise down in the driver side footwell near the fusebox (I don't know exactly where). I checked all the fuses and they are good. I plugged my aftermarket head unit into another prelude and It worked. I plugged the other preludes head unit into mine and it did the same thing. The headunit turns on, but doesn't play music. I believe the speakers are getting power because when I plug in the headunit I get a pop noise from the speakers. The AFBS is bypassed because I have aftermarket speakers in the front and back. Does anyone know what it could be?

are any wires touching each other behind the headunit when you plug it into your prelude?

did u reset the head unit?

[DavidV]

Yes, I checked the wires behind the head unit and no touches, but im going to double check again tomorrow. I also reset the head unit, but it didnt help.

pull the radio out and use a test speaker and connect it directly to the headunit and see if you get sound out of any of the 4 channels

k, i'm about to go and do that.

if you get no sound from the test speaker the internal amplifier in the radio is fried and its time for a new radio

[hybrid90accord]

or get a 4 channel amp to power ur speakers if ur radio has front and rear pre-outs

I figured it out, The clip on the passenger speaker got magnetized to the speaker which was shorting it out.
