Front Door Speakers Stopped Working?

[JCARP4483]

About 3 months ago my front door speakers quit working. Drivers and passanger side. I thought it might be a short in the Front input on the CD player. Well the tweeters still work when i fade to the front which tells me that they are hooked into the Front input as well. My question is are these speakers on seperate inputs or is it possible both my front speakers blew at the same time. up to 3 weeks after this they would randomly kick on and off and didnt sound busted and played fine. Turn my truck off and next time i turn it on they are not working. I have a little audio knowledge but i am at a loss on this one?

They should be under warranty. But its probably a broken wire in your door loom.

I have 39,000 miles on my truck, My bumper to bumper warranty is gone. I work offshore and do alot of driving from North MS so... any other suggestions?

FAIL double post

your speaker wires are probably broken.

but both speakers at the same time? that is whats got me dumbfounded. I would agree with that if maybe just one stopped. But both i mean did the little gremlins get in there and cut just those 2 wires?

do you have a Bose stereo? It could be the amp.

 

I was thinking a wire may have broken and was grounding out, causing the entire front channel to stop working, but than I remember you saying the tweets work fine.

 

It is possible the doors are on different outputs than the tweets though.

No on the bose system and thats why i posted in the teck section and not in the audio section trying to see if someone knew if it is the same output or not. Before i go tearing into the dash

Gremlins only have to cut one wire to pull that channel down. With the radio on, if you ground a volt meter and touch the other side to any front speaker wire you should have 5.0-7.5 volts DC. If a wire doesn't have it you are on to the problem, you can hunt from there.

GM installs a Bose system in this from the factory, it is every bit as common for us to diagnose a Bose system as any other. The big name doesn't make it any more difficult. You didn't include a vin or any option codes, I only even see a vehicle model in your profile, nowhere in your question. Never the less they are all pretty much the same on an 08 so check the voltages.
