Default 01 coupe Audio Problem

01 CP No sound/signal to passenger side woofer. No signal coming from 100W amp in the door - but there is signal to the 3.5". Changed out the 100W with no change; changed out the BCM - same problem.
Any ideas for a fix? Thx

Did you test the speaker? Blown coils are a common cause for loss of output.

Why would you change out the BCM for a speaker issue?

Default C5 Audio problem

Speaker tests fine - they are new Kicker replacements. since there is no signal going to the speaker and the 100W amp is not the problem - the next logical step back was the Bose Control Module (BCM) ( above the gas pedal)

What ohm rating is the speaker? Doesn't the Bose system use 2 ohm speakers? I know Bose typically doesn't play well with aftermarket equipment.

these are Kicker upgrades from DoubleD - Dennis says he has sold them for years w/o issue. The drivers side sounds great. I had a pro install these and he said the speaker tested fine.

The Audio section of this forum would probably be more help to you.

Default Wheel Match ?

I've read about this before, but you might want to make sure whether a completely different set/kind of wheels would both fit and be as safe as a set of wheels designed for and engineered to work well on your Corvette. Just like wheel spacers, I think I've read or heard about a car with wheel spacers losing a wheel. . . at like 65 MPH and I can assure you, the results were not pretty !
