i have a 98 GT, with the MACH stereo. ever since i bought it the subs in the doors do not work at all.

where should i start?

 

Start from the beginning. Is the stock HU still in there? Can you tallk to previous owner? Have you checked the balance adjustments? Did you open door panels and confirm they are connected?

That should keep ya busy while I make me some din din

yes stock HU, previous owner did not know anything about it, have not checked balance adjustments (hows that done?) and i have not taken the door panels off but that was my next step

 

Had some nice pasta with pesto and olive oil, yummy

Ok. Start with the front / rear fader. I removed my stock HU a while back, but seemsto be some adjustment buttons on the front, if I recall. This isprobably your issue, and would start there before checking connections.

oh no not those adjustments, i checked those the first thing. i just thought you possibly meant some other adjustment on the amps or something.

 

ok. seemed a little too simple, but can be soo easy to overlook such things andskip to complicated stuff. Hmmm.... it is easy enough to pull the stock deck and check to see if all wires are connected. But first, confirm that there is not even the faintest of sounds coming from the door speakers. If so, I would think that the amp may be bad.

alright ill try that out and go from there

 

none of the front speakers work? Top or bottom? The top speaker run off of the deck and the bottom runs off an amp. I would check fuses if the bottoms were out, if the top is out you will probably need a new deck, ormaybe speakers........

 

the bottom speakers in the doors do not work. where are the fuses for those located?

 

I am not sure there ARE fuses for those alone. I would now check the amp in back. You may switch the amps and see if it drives the fronts. If it does, your amp is bad. If it doesn't, I would open the doors and connect another speaker temporariliy to wires and see if that plays. Maybe someone can think of a quicker short-cut to figure something out.
