Just finished installing new speakers all round. I test one of the back speakers, which worked and then continued ton install the second back speaker. Once I had finished that I tried to test that one, but unfortunately no noise was coming from any of the speakers at all.
I believe all the wiring is okay, but I don't want to pull everything apart again to check if there's something else I can check before I do that....
Any suggestions???
Also installed a k&n panel filter which I think makes a difference - but could it just be the placebo effect?

Re: 96 revision 4 - perfection
If you can get to the head unit wiring easy enough test each speaker pair resistance to see if they are all 8ohm. If some wires are shorted or have an open circuit this is where the problem will lie.
The K&N will flow more air, sound louder but also allow more dirt to pass. Most likely it won't make any difference from stock.

Re: 96 revision 4 - perfection
From my experience , pull apart and check your wiring .9/10 problems like that are basic and if you have just twisted the wires together and used sellotape .You deserve a slap in the face with a wet fish.
Check all your connections and don't assume anything . I hope this doesn't sound like your mother!

Re: Kipp's sdub
Owned the car for just over 1 year now!
As with old cars, little problems always arise. This time its leaking in the passenger foot well...
I have tried doing a water test with no luck and I took the car to Smith and Smith as they recently replaced the windscreen and they had no luck at making it leak and resealed everything just in case but its still leaking.
I have a feeling it may be the air con? I had the air con on full and it was dripping right at the front of the foot well, has anyone had any experience with this or know what else it could be?
Any help would be much appreciated!

Re: Kipp's sdub
If the AC drain pipe is not connected and running outside the car then this will be the issue.
