Speakers Turn Off Randomly

[Project1990LX]

My head unit is powered,says music is playing, but no sound?
Yesterday I had the problem for the first time, so I took my head unit out and saw that some wires had come loose, so I blew a fuse too. Got all that fixed up, then today in the morning the same thing happened. Any body deal with this before?

Sounds like your grounding out somewhere....

[Project1990LX]

Yeah that's what a friend said too, thanks.
Any suggestions on where to start looking?

Make sure you wrap electrical tape around any wires that are connected. make sure the ground wires for the speakers/head unit are screwed into unpainted metal.

Same thing happened to me yesterday. connections came loose...

if all your running is just a (HU) head-unit Make sure you put the right fuse in the fuse box pretty sure its 10amp and you have the correct wiring RED to RED YELLOW to YELLOW and for the ground(BLACK)make a new ground ( I had a problem in the harness ground it made a high pitch noise while driving I new ground it out and buh bye noise)

Id look at your deck wires speaker wires it could ground out at the speakers you could have an pinched wire somwhere just start looking for open wires that can tuch metal...

Remaining powered and music playing, there Okay just to be clear, I did not run any wires, installed no amp nothing, I have a pioneer head unit I installed with a simple wiring harness and a mount. Then I removed the 4 old speakers, front doors and rear deck, and installed 4 pioneer speakers, 260watt in the front, 180watt in the back. I wired them using the wire that was there for the old speakers. . I removed the head unit, and wrapped the wires in electrical tape. Music played for 1 second then cut off, with the head unit remaining powered and saying that music was playing. Howver, no sound. Should I start cheching every speaker one by one? Or any other thing I should check first?

Same thing happened to me a while back. take the rear speakers out and cutt out some cardboard to cover the bare metal where the speakers sit. I would tape down the cardboard so it doesnt move when you drop them back in. Goodluck

[Project1990LX]

Yeaah that makes sense, that's actually where I was gunna start looking thanks bro . Ill update asap

[Junior Smurff]

That should be it, doubt its the front speakers.
Your welcome, DO WORK

x2 on the rear deck speakers. I changed mine from 6.5's to 6x9's and it shorts every so often even with tape wrapping the wires and the connections on the speaker. The cardboard idea is good advice, I think I'm going to try that now too! hahaha

[Project1990LX]

Okay, I'm about to see if the cardboard works, wish me luck! Haha

[Project1990LX]

So I just removed the rear speakers, taped everything up, cut out some cardboard, put everything in place, still no sound I will try front speakers tomorrow
