Sound to only subwoofer.
Recently picked up a '94 SC300. Only has sound to sub. Has anyone had this actual experience and found out the actual fix? I would just have a new head-unit put in, but am worried that won't solve anything.

It's impossible for us to know what the previous owner did to it. Is it all stock? Stock amps, cd player, head unit? It sounds like your amp is broken not giving any power to the regular speakers, the sub has a separate amp mounted under the rear deck which is probably why it works. Perhaps water got to the main amp and shorted it out?

It is all stock. In searching I have seen others have had similar issues, but have never seen a solution (at least not posted in various online places).

It sounds like the rear speakers have blown, especially if they are stocks. Go to post 4 in the link below, my DIY to replace the rear blown speakers.

My car had only one working door speaker when I bought it. It turned out the two rear deck speakers were blown and the other door speaker's wiring was bad. Additionally, the sub was disconnected and remnants of aftermarket wiring were hooked up to it and an old amp location. Oh, and once I had all that sorted out, I still had no power to my new sub amp ... turned out the fuse for the aftermarket wiring was blown. The previous owner must have had someone do the installation and had no idea how to maintain it, so they just let one thing die after another and got rid of the car when nothing was left working.
When it comes to previous owner car ownership, expect the unexpected! And idiocy.

Ok I was thinking u were hooking up to the sub connections, but since the sub is working the amp is working and the rears and maybe the fronts have blown.

My question was poorly worded. I touched the wires with a new speaker to the connection at the rear speakers. Tried right and left, it's very hard to bet any contact on the little part of the +/- that is accessible from under the rear deck, but all I got was some "scratching" noise from the new speaker. Not sure if that tells us anything.

Touhing the wire against the connection to the existing speaker. Can't really connect firmly without getting to top of speakers. Is there a +/- off the Amp for a better test connection?
