one speakers stops them all from working.

Hi

For some reason one of my speakers has stopped working, I'll find why later. Heres my question if I disconnect the speak from the radio the other three will work but as soon as I connect even one wire of the faulty speaker they all go off. Why is this? I have had my meter on wires from the back of the radio and they are measure 4 ohms accross the speaker.

Has anybody come across this before??

Yeah, Hes right. Its pretty much a protection feature to keep from damaging your headmount. Most amps have them, and a couple newer recievers do as well. Alls you gotta do is replace that one speaker and you'll be golden.

Cool thanks. Its a new one on me?? I could understand if was off an amp for the protect reason but this is off the actual head unit and I have never seen that before. The speakers are going anyway and new ones all through the car.

Thanks for the help.
