- 1994 Limited 4x4
Hey guys, I'm new to the forum...and LOVE it so far! I have a 1994 Limited that is in outstanding condition...virtually ZERO rust (rare), beautiful interior, and no engine/transmission problems whatsoever. The only problem seems to be electrically related, and as I'm not the first owner of the vehicle I'm not sure what has been modified or not.
The main problem I am having lies with the audio system. It has the stock Ford JBL audio system with one amp powering the door speakers and one powering the factory 6.5" JBL subwoofer. I purchased the car with a Kenwood aftermarket head unit, and it worked perfectly fine for MONTHS. About a week ago all of a sudden there is zero bass, not only in the subwoofer, but in the door speakers as well. I tried the head unit in another vehicle, and it works fine. Keep in mind EVERYTHING was working, and nothing was changed at ALL.
This doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me because the sound is coming through the speakers just fine, except for the TOTAL lack of bass. I could see if maybe the subwoofer was blown or something then it wouldn't work, but what in the world would cause ALL bass from ALL speakers to be non-existant? Obviously the door speakers should have SOME bass, regardless of whats going on w/ sub & amp, and they don't. The sound is a little tinny and echoey as well. Occasionally the bass will come back on for a few seconds...booming and sounding TERRIBLE and then cut out again. I'm not an audio/electrical guy, so I'm clueless here. ANY help would be super appreciated! THANKS!
