Ok, so out of no where my driver side top dash speaker started cutting out today then by end of my 2 hour drive nothing from it all. Then I check driver door and same thing; nothing.

 

Could this be a Connectivity problem? Are these two speakers running off of each other? Something doesn’t seem right for both to go right at the exact same time.

 

Any help is appreciated.

Front door speaker and dash are tied together.

So one of them may be fine? Meaning if one goes down, they both go down?

 

I’m at a loss of what would cause this to just start to go in and out then all of the sudden just stop.

I'm assuming your system is not Bose and you do not have an aftermarket headunit and your speakers are still stock.  

Both the door speakers and dash speakers are tied together in parallel in right and left channels.  And from what I understand the factory headunit is very picky about the ohm load it sees.  I see your truck is a 2014, it's a good chance your speakers are just worn out and the ohm load now is not within the factory headunit's tolerances.  I would start by simply unhooking the dash speaker and see if the door speaker comes back.  If no change, plug the dash speaker back in and unhook the door speaker.  If still no change I would unhook both speakers, find a speaker that I know for a fact works and rig it with some speaker wire to one of the speaker connectors and see if you get sound then.

They both work again now, but do still go out and in here and there.

One of them must be on the way out then I take it?

May be time to finally add a nice set of speakers and amp now.

Yes, by the way this is non bose with factory HU and no amp right now.

Yup, I bet one of them is probably blown. An amp and new component speakers would fix your problem nicely.

Yes sir, plan to go with the sundown 2.75 for dash then not sure what to add to the four doors.

Going to start planning this build soon, will do rear fold down seat mod then add amps to back wall.

May want to check the connectors on the back of stereo unit for being loose.

 

Same symptoms happened to my F150. I had been at the Furd dealer on electrical seat warranty issue and the tech thought he would drum up additional cake work and loosened the plug from the head unit. when the speakers started cutting out 2 days later i didn't take it back to the stealer but got up in there and found the connector cocked on an angle hanging by a thread. Pushed it back in and never went back.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
