Sound Problem

OK, I have a problem I need some help with. In my 02 430 I installed the Beatsonic last year. At that point all speakers worked, and I might add, marvelously! However, recently the sub, and two back speakers decided to stop working. I took the back seat out, the speaker did not seem to be in shreds, so something should be coming out. I then took the radio out (a Pioneer) to see if there were any dangling wires, there weren't. So, no easy fix. Any ideas? One thing I did was replace the OEM door speakers with some speakers from Crutchfield that were supposed to work with my car...Fosgates. Could this have caused the rear to stop working? Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Hey, figured out my own problem here, well, actually the person who installed everything for me talked me through how to fix this. I had to tap the "mode" button once, and then the down button and it restored all sound to the rear speakers. Weird!!!! I felt pretty stupid since I took everything apart on over the weekend. I could have saved myself some serious hassle and potential problems. Oh well...I learned some about my car anyway.

No, he said it is quark with the Beatsonic...one that I was not familiar with. He suggested that I not use the controls except for volume. Frankly, I didn't even know the top buttons even did anything...and I didn't intentionally use them.

The mode and down button you pressed to restore your sound were these on the radio or the beat sonic unit?

It was the mode button on the left hand side of the steering wheel, and the buttons on that same row. It was not the volume buttons. I hit the "mode" button once, the GPS actually opened, and then I hit the "down" button...tapping it several times. Sound started coming back. So simple...

It appears that the problem was due to the Fading setting being all the way in the front.

The two arrows below the "Mode" button, up and down will change your fader setting from front to rear. The up arrow will fade the sound to the front while the down arrow will fade the sound to the rear. The arrows must be tapped for the setting to change. Just push and hold will not change the setting progressively.

Here is the instructions on how to operate the steering wheel controls properly:
Appendix A Steering Wheel Controls Operation Manual

If anyone else experience any other issues, please let me know.

Thank you!
