Am I Missing A Speaker ?


Recommended Posts

All,

One unusual thing I have noticed about my XR is it 'seems' to be missing a speaker. I have a tweeter in the passenger side pillar on the windscreen, but not on the drivers side ?? Is this meant to be like this or did the guy installing the drivers side speaker go on a smoko when mine was rollin thru the prod line ??

I have read that there are supposed to be '11' speakers, with the 2 ways being counted as 2 speakers, this would give me 10, not 11 ? unless the second tweeter is located somewhere else ?

I have Premium sound BTW..

Karl.

KarlDurrance,

So what you are saying is that you do not have a grill / holes in the drivers side A pillar plastic for a speaker?? I have Premium Audio and I do.. Have youremoved the plastic on the A Pillar to see if there is aspeaker behind it? They may have put the wrong plastic cover on it???

To remove the plastic cover start from the top and pull gently towards you. It has a few press catches with plastic lugs on the bottom next to the dash. (See mobile Phone install tread for pictures if needed)...

Good luck. :nod:

bdennis,

that's correct, no grill/holes or anything, just smooth plastic.. You are probably correct about the wrong cover being installed. I have the car in with the dealer now getting the sunroof fixed and have called them to get them to look at where the speaker 'should' be aswell.. I guess I'll have to wait until the arvo to see what they have to say..

Karl,

No problems. Just thinking about it. The speaker is mounted on the A Pillar and ot on the plastic cover. As per above I would bet that they have just put the wrong cover on. Let us know how you go! Glad to help. :nod:

Did you end up getting this sorted Karl?

Yeah, After speaking to the dealer on the phone and him initially telling me you don't get a speaker on the drivers side WTF ?? they realised there was a problem and fitted the correct A pillar cover.. The speaker was there, just hidden under the cover as was suggested..
