ok so i posted something a while ago and i never got any answers... i have a 99 a6 and the rear door speakers (tweeters and bass speakers) dont work. the front ones are just fine, what happened to the back ones? what should be replaced, where is the problem? any help will be appreciated.. thanks!

 

ya i also needed a reply to this... i noticed when people dont know the answer, they just let the thread float and get dug under the new ones and it disappears..

so anyone

 

the front speakers works, right? it is wires problem, there is broken wires on rear door speakers.

 

i doubt it... the fronts would have the same problem then....its gotta be something else cause both of the rear doors just magically dont work and there both broken wires?

 

What radio are we talking about, Bose or other? Rear speakers have been a problem for years. Typically traced to either the wiring harness where it enters the door or the rear amplifier. The amp is located under the parcel shelf in the sedan and if I remember correctly, under the rear seat in the Avant.

 

if you don't have the amplifier for the car, and you have installed a new head unit, you won't get the sound out of the speakers, it has to be powered through an amp, i have the same problem, it's only with a non-factory head unit though. I had to wire my rear speakers through an amp.

 

were talkin about the regular stereo, mines not a bose, can anyone post pictures of where this amp is? and how would i know what is causing this?

 

the amp is usually mounted inside the trunk, it may vary depending on the year of your vehicle, but for mine it would be located in the trunk, on the roof of the trunk, just above the sheet metal. If you have all your factory speakers and head unit still, the speakers may be out or their may be a wiring problem. When i bought my Audi A6, it didn't have a factory amp, nor did it have a cd player in the factory head unit, so i had to buy a new head unit, and that caused my rear speakers to cut out because audi makes everything next to impossible to fit correctly other than factory accesories. However to fix that issue i bought an amp, and wired my head unit to my amp, then from the amp the speakers were wired, rather than wiring the head unit directly to the speakers.

 

well i have a 99 audi a6Q with the 6 disk cd changer in the trunk and i havent checked yet if i have an amp in the back but what would you suggest to do ?

 

i have no after market stereo at all
