Other S60 Problem: - Has my amp blown

solly · Mar 18th, 2014, 15:38

Just got the car back from a complete engine mount swap, and the old girl (06) is finally back to her old self.
After a couple of days I noticed the radio had gone "tinny" and discovered I was only getting sound from the centre speaker on the dash. ie no other speakers work. No amount of button pushing inthe advanced menu will improve things. The head unit is an HU850 6 cd changer type. CD work Radio works just the speakers. I even read the instruction manual after Mrs Solly suggested it may be a good idea !!

Sounds like (pardon the pun) your amp may be poorly.

I trust that all the connections have been checked and the fuses are electrically intact?

In the process of installing my Grom Audio unit, I disturbed one of the cables and only got sound from the centre speaker, it would be worth pulling the unit out and checking the connections behind the dash and under the seat too - once you've checked the fuses as Georgey Dee suggests.

Thanks for the information I can see a weekend ahead is to be spent under the seat and dash
