well as far as i know, theres an Amp in the trunk for the premium and theirs a sub woofer in those wholes. I dont have the premium sound system though, so i am not sure.

 

On my 2005 with Alpine premium sound, I believe the amp is on the driver's side wall of the trunk. It's also where the 6 disc CD changer would go if the car came with that option.

What year is your car? On the 2005+ vehicles at least, the premium sound system is made by Alpine, not Panasonic.

 

Standard system does not have an amp. I believe the tweeters in the doors were added to the standard system in 03 or 04. Doesn't sound like you have the premium set-up.

 

Might be able to help if you could give us a little more details about how you wired the unit and elaborate a little more on the problem. Don't want to send you on a wild goose chase....

 

There is a flat casing under the rear deck, the speaker looking holes on the deck are from dual subwoofers. If you listen close you can hear the Bass but it's not a loud or strong bass thats why I added a ten inch sub. I have not looked for the amp, have NAV/CD changer in trunk.

 

I thought about that but I like the stock sys w/navigation so i'm keeping that. The part that sucks is the adapter i'll need to purchase $600. is the only way I can hook a DVD player up to the stock system. I've checked a few places and can't get a cheaper price than that.

 

okay the amplifier that you have in your trunk what size amp is it like how many watts cuz I was thinking of taking that and putting it in my Monte Carlo but I don't know the information on the amplifier because it don't have no information on it besides Jaguar

 

The Jag/Alpine amp is an 8x40W special, connects into the D2B system.

 

I apparently have a standard system since I can't find an amp. My problem is I only have one speaker working the right rear. What should I be looking for to get the other speaker working. The ones not working seemed to all quit at the same time.

 

Remove the defective speakers for examination. The fine copper mesh leads from "connector" to the cone are most likely broken.
You may be able to extend the life of the speakers by carefully resoldering the broken leads.
Great care must be used to make a repair as small as possible to avoid making a solid wire in place of the flex.
Alternatively, replace the wire to cone with suitable speciality wire.
The speakers, when working properly are above average and worth salvaging.

Let us know what you find.

 

Thanks for your response,
I'm not sure that this is the problem since all the non-working speakers basically stopped working at the same time. I guess I can take a look at one of the speakers to see if this is the problem and proceed from there.

 

Bob, as one speaker fails and the volume diminishes, the the level is increased on the remaining, accelerating failure on old/weak connections.

They don't actually fail at the same time. You just notice that only one remains at one time.

Kind of like headlights.

The actual point of failure is usually immeadiately adjacent to the "fixed" point. Test by gently connecting the the flex lead, even if it doesn't "look broken".
You probably recall that non-ferrous metals (copper, etc.) cannot be designed to flex indefinitely due to work hardening.
Repair at the fixed point is not too difficult but will last less than the original 20 years.
A "proper repair" replaces the copper flex connections. That requires a steady hand and a light touch, both of which equal or exceed my limits except on "good days".

Let us know how it goes.

best regards,

Bill
