Audio Problem - Any Idea?

Hi,,,

My left front speaker has been dead and on intermitently, but most of the time went dead.

I opened the door trim today and checked the cables to the speakers they all are connected well to the X-over and the bass/midrange and treble speakers (This is split 6").

Both my front speakers are powered by amplifier. I checked the amps and the output terminals are all connected, no loose cables.

I set my head unit to put out sound to the left-front speaker only.

- The front left speaker does not produce sound (Yes, it's dead)

- If I switch the amplifier input from left to right n vice versa, the

front left speaker is still dead. This means the L-R line out

at the back of my head unit is connected properly, right?

So based on that analysis, would that be my amp that is not working, or the problem lies on my front left speaker?

I haven't tried my amp, but I was thinking to switch the output

terminal from left to right n vice versa like the input and see

if the problem is with the amplifier itself...

Any ideas guys/gals?

Thanks...

thx guys...

I'm preety sure it's a bad contact somewhere between amp and front left speakers..... today on my way back over interstate highway, my F-L speaker went alive again... and hasn't beeen dead since... it went dead momentarily in Toorak rd over the bumpy tram track but as I arrived home, it's on again....

I've booked my audio installer to reinspect it again, they did the installation and they agree to have a look and find where the speaker contact became loose...

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?

      Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!

      That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
