Default Front Speaker Mystery

2004 Stype V8

I have no sound out of my front speakers. Alpine premium system, no nav.

I have checked output on the pins at the amplifier and there is a signal coming out, but there nothing at the speakers.

The previous owner had a parrott system that was tied in to the rear speakers and interrupted them, but as far as i can work out they must have simply disconnected the front.

I don't get any continuity when I check the rear speaker wires at the amp, and so I am thinking the may be disconnected at the doors, or somewhere else.

I have slightly opened a door panel and can see all connectors appear to be going into the door module. Do the speaker wires go through this?

Where else might they be disconnected?

Any help would be appreciated. thanks.

OK, I solved my own mystery. Turns out the Parrott installers had simply unplugged the front speakers at the door. This, to me, seems criminal, that the last owner drove around with half a sound system.

Well the good news is you found it. But that does seem the wrong way to install something.

Sounds like the parrot was muting the audio to the rears when it activated but not the front, so they took the easy solution.
