Default Is it the radio or the amp?

2006 LS430. Front speakers (all) have stopped working for both radio and CDs . All rear speakers are working. No speaker adjustment or "dashboard ****" adjustments changes anything. Does this sound like a a radio problem or an amp problem?

If radio --what to do?
If amp --what to do?

Just donate the car to me and forget you ever owned it... Just kidding! (well, no, not really!!!!)

All not working? Check fuses to the amp.

I'd agree, look to your fuse first. Then pull the head unit and check for a loose connector. Finally, dig down into the right side of your trunk and do the same for the amp's plugs.

With a bit of luck, you'll have your answer.

I went through the same symptons and it was the amp. Lots of discussion about amp replacement so do a search.
