1984 Corvette : Both speakers on driver side stopped working at the same time. Would this problem come from a broken wire at one speaker or from the radio selector switch. I am all ears fellas

First thing I'd do is pull the radio. The connectors on mine when I took it apart was pretty flimsy and came apart easily. Could be a pretty simple solder job right at the connector. You can use a voltmeter to confirm continuity of the wires from the connector as well. If there's not a problem with the connector or the continuity in the wires, you may have a bad radio.

The signals to the speaker outputs go through the tone controls. This was the problem with my 85's radio. I also recently wrote a thread on how to check the speakers (and their amps) through the radio connection rather than removing them from the door which is a very tedious project.
Thanks will give that a try sure hope it works was't looking forward to going into the doors

Has anyone found a good replacement for the Bose Radio and speakers? Well just the radio I know what I'm doing for speakers. The radio works, tape player not working, sound goes in and out(wiggle ****) and NO Bluetooth. The conversion kits look like crap I've purchased 3 different styles from 3 manufacture.
