Follow up on Speaker Confusion:

I'll try to include photos although the new speakers look just like the ones I removed - except cleaner.
I have a fuse in position number six marked amp. The rear speakers started working so I removed the fuse and they kept on working. No idea what the fuse does if anything.
I replaced both front speakers and working fine now. I'll replace the rear speakers if necessary in the future.
I tested both old front speakers with the nine volt battery thing and neither produced static while a known good speaker did.
The photo with four speakers shows the front and back of the new ones. The two photos with two speakers are the old ones, front and back.
Thanks again to all for your patience and assistance.

Thanks for the update photos!

 

Looks like you’re replacing with EOM speakers. I might suggest saving the old speakers. They obviously have an integral bracket. The speaker part can be chopped off and the remaining bracket used to adapt aftermarket speakers.

Still curious about that fuse #6.

And I wonder which fuse powers the antenna amp?

 

I thought I answered that last week? Comes directly from the HU. The fuse boxes come to the factory fully populated.

 

Sorry, you prolly did. Missed it. Or forgot.

My SS radio gets only the local station. CD’s and satellite sound awesome. The antenna appears to be stock, not some “stubby.” Will attack it soon. The sunroof doesn’t work either. Would much care except it’s no quite closed tight, guessing 1/16” higher than it should be, and jumps a bit when I close a door. Will likely work on those together.

 

The pink wire out of the HU goes to the antenna amp; it is also used to turn the optional amp/subwoofer and optional retracting antennas and anything else that the HU might need to use when it is turned on.

If the antenna amp is broken you wouldn't get much reception because the only antenna would be whatever bits of wire are not shielded between the receiver and the antenna.

 

^^Thanks! So it would seem that wire just provides a “radio is on” signal for whatever needs it, except it’s the actual power for the minuscule requirement of the amp?

 

yes

 

…and the antenna amp is under the headliner, passenger side right?
How hard is it to get to it and check it all? ….link?

 

Remove the sun visors, gently pull down the headliner, use a mirror to see up in there.
if you see a problem, then you have to drop the headliner.
