Almera CY460 speaker problems

    Hi Guys

    I have an annoying problem with my Almera's stereo/speakers.
    Its the cy460 model integrated stereo

    It started with a speaker missing sound at the back left however I ignored it adjusting the balance to the front.. Then I noticed the back right audio went missing.. Then a crackle on the front right bass speaker. So I was only left with the left hand front side speaker working. Now this is where its gets interesting. The back right kicks in every now and again on long journeys. THe front right bass speaker only plays treble (It doesnt match the bass of the front left)

    I have replaced the cy460 completely with a second hand off ebay thinking it could be the amp or equalisation. It has the same problem. So it must be wiring or fuse or something.

    Would anyone know what could be going on?

    Points to note:
    * I have an xcarlink installed and never had a problem with it.
    * Have tried the balance front to rear and also left to right (both in the middle and still seeing the same issue)
    * Issue also happens with radio so its not just the cdplayer/xcarlink
    * I double checked all connections in the back of the CY460 its not that.
    * Balance F-R all to rear with volume @ 20 gives nothing
    * Balance F-R all to front with volume @ 20 gives audio however front right now has no bass
    * Balance L-R all to right I hear only treble from both tweeter and bass (front only)
    * Balance L-R all to left I hear base and treble front (front only)

    It has to be wiring however I dont know where to look is there a fuse per speaker or something?
    I dont particularly want to start replacing speakers considering the back right works every now and again.

    I'm literally tearing my hair out.. Any help would be very much appreciated!

    Thanks guys
    Fester!

    As the issues arose at different times, you may have a number of separate issues.

    I agree that it's most likely in the wiring. You could confirm this if you have another speaker knocking around that you could connect the rear cables to.

    It might also be worth checking the earthing of the head unit/amplifier.

    Thanks..

    Any tips on how to check the earthing? Ive only limited Multimeter experience.
    Or do you know a guy in the Meath / Dublin area that might be able to do it for me?

    Thanks again !

    Hi festerhavok,
    Just wondering if you ever got your speaker problem sorted? I'm having the exact same problem and it's doing my head in.

    Thanks

    The speakers in them are known for giving trouble. It's more than likely the speakers breaking down. It was in my one as I had similar problems to the OP.

    Don't think it might be the speakers as some times they come on. The front driver's side always works and the rest are intermittent.

    Yep, same as mine until they stopped altogether.

    Edit. A good thump to the door got them working again for 15 minutes until they stopped again. Speakers in the Almera are known for giving trouble
