Why doesn't my right front speaker work, after I replaced with a alpine deck?

It is not a short in the wiring so you do not have to check the whole wire. A short (or ground) in the wire would cause all of your speakers to not play. so unless all your speakers are cutting out its not the problem. If wire is broken somehwere where it isnt touching the chasis to ground out could be problem. Also if it was wired backwards it would still play, the woofer on the speaker would just hit in reverse but would still produce sound. Try taking a 9 volt battery and connecting it directly to the speaker to see if you hear a small popping sound to make sure the speaker isnt blown. If you get a pop and your connection at both the speaker and radio are good then the radio might have a bad channel. to test that try hooking the channel up to one of the speakers you know works.

Humm, ya may need to check the speaker wire again "from start to finish"...or maybe the speaker wire comming directly out from the Alpine deck is out/lose/broken...the channel from the deck for that "right front" might not be good.

OR! the speaker it self needs attention.

Good luck

easy test's

first take a multimeter and check the resitance in you speaker do this by taking the postive of the multimeter and putting it on the positive on the speaker and negative to negative you get the point. if there is no resistance (measured in ohms) you know then that the voice coil is blown and your speaker is in the junk.

2. if you do not have a multimeter hook the speaker up to you home stereo if the speaker works you know the problem is in your wiring.

i bet your connections are just bad. did you use crimp caps? trace the wires back and make sure all your connections are solid.

bad connection or broken wire. If the speaker is inside the front door, the wires between the door and the forward door post are often the sight of wire break downs because the door is always being opened or closed which means the wires have to move, causing metal fatigue and subsequent breaking of the wires.

The new board is not seated properly,

The board is defective,

the connections are not tight,

wiring is incorrect or backwards,

speaker (external) jacks or plugs shorted

or not seated correctly,

Or as others said possibly the speaker or it's wire

is damaged.

Hope this helps and Happy New Year to you :o)

the head unit may have a burnt port,alpine has had a problem with that over the last few yrs

Try a different deck.

might have a short in ur wiring
