I recently inherited a 1987 Firebird TransAm with 48k miles. The radio system is completely stock. Radio lights up, changes stations and works visibly. Antenna extends and retracts as it should as well. Absolutely zero sound from any speaker. changed the radio fuse and still nothing. Ordered a new Pioneer HU with kit from Crutchfield. Installed all of it with the relay for the antenna and again works visibly as it should to include bluetooth connection, but still zero sound from speakers. Am I just too hard headed to believe all 4 stock speakers are out? or is there another issue I am missing?

 

Iunno... are the wires hooked up at the back of the speakers? Are the speakers even still THERE?

 

yea all speakers are accounted for and are connected

 

Perhaps the amplifier(S) in the radio are fried. if the ohm rating on the current speakers did not match the ohm rating of the radio & that fried the radio amp(s).

 

just discovered all 4 speakers are in fact bad. what are the odds

 

Pretty high, if somebody had a bigger amp in there at one point, blew them up, and later put the stock radio back in to sell the car so they could keep the other.

Typical PO s***.

 

well it was my grandfathers and has never been altered from anything stock, I hooked up a known good speaker today and sure enough all 4 are out

 

That's kinda weird then.

Who knows...
