[QUOTE="HardofWhoring, post: 8862688, member: 674149"] Yeah, if you can get to the amp, you should be able to easily tell how many speaker wires it has coming off of it. They are usually in pairs with the same color, and one will be solid, one will have a black or white stripe. That would be one channel. You should easily be able to tell how many pairs of wires/channels you have coming off the amp. Pretty certain you have rear speakers, so you would most likely have 4,6, or 8 channels. You could also look at the wire that is coming off the tweeter and the midrange speaker on the same side. If they are the same wire, then they are probably wired in series. If they are two different pairs then they would be wired up to different channels. Once you get it to the channel at the amp, you can check it for AC voltage with a multimeter, or run speaker wire to a known good speaker. 20 year old factory amps are usually a common failure point. If your stereo was loud enough/good enough for you before this happened, the easiest thing to do is to just get a replacement amp (if it's the channel). It might just be a soldering point that or some other internal component. If you have soldered before, and feel comfortable looking at small electronics, you can probably take it apart and inspect it to possibly fix it. Otherwise it's a picknpull type yard and replace it for probably $20 or find one on ebay. If you've been looking for an excuse to upgrade your stereo, this is a small one. [/QUOTE]
