Okay, I tried to fit new some new 10cm speakers into my headrest this morning and somehow this has failed miserably.

It should have been a straight swap, both sets of speakers have the same corresponding spade plug (one thin, one thicker) and it all marries up right, but after switching on the stereo I get absolutely no sound

Ive not had to change anything except plugs from one set to the other, what have I missed or done wrong?

Can you put the old ones back on to verify if theres any electricals coming out of the wires?

Im trying that in the morning, I was pressed for time today, so fitted them, found out there was no sound, and had to postpone.

Test both with your home stereo.

Just to be clear there is two sets of 2 speakers, 2 in each headrest, so the likely hood of both pairs being faulty is unlikely.

so there is 4 wires in each head rest?

Did you check they were the same impedence?

impedance wouldnt stop them playing completely

Should still have some output, even if the ohmage is off. Arent virtually all car stereos 8 ohms these day? :shrug: Been ten years since I bothered installing one myself.

Why did you change them, I take it the old ones were working?

Yeah one was knackered and they were pretty crap anyway, so I figured upgrade time.

4 wires each headrest.

Home speakers are 8 ohms, think car ones are four ohms IIRC. Some car ones are 2 ohms and some eight, most should still be four. Still should work, providing Clockd hasnt done some terminal damage to the sterio system

Clockd, if you have a multimeter check the resistance of the speakers. TBH it should be printed on them somewhere.

is it possible you got the 2+ and 2- mixed up, if that makes sense?

i.e. you hve the the possitive on one speaker and the negative that is meant to go with it, is on the other speaker and vice versa...

looking at this picture, I dont think thats possible.

fair enough, dont know what else it could be then tbh. speakers are normally easy.

see if the old ones still work is the first thing to do i guess.
