Re: [T3] Speaker Mystery

<x-flowed>>What do you mean by "The stereo was working, but no sound?"

The stereo face plate is still lit, I can still change stations, and the EQ 
still bounces up and down.

The PO did cut holes in the doors for speakers, but the panels were shot. I 
have new panels from TMI and decided not to put speakers in them. I am 
running speaker wire directly from the deck to a standalone speaker box on 
the back seat, no mounting.



Thank you,

Gary Gamboa
