Avantime audio system failure

Hi, I'm having a weird issue with my 2002 Renault Avantime (diesel engine). The audio system is completely dead. No sound whatsoever from any speakers. I've checked the fuses, and they seem fine. Anyone experienced anything similar?

Hey! I also own an Avantime, and I had a similar problem. I know it sounds strange, but did you check the bass speaker? Sometimes a defective bass speaker can cause the entire system to shut down. Does your audio output produce distorted sounds before completely dying?

Thanks for the tip! Where is the bass speaker located, and how can I test it? I have not detected any sound distortion prior to the problem occurring.

The bass speaker is usually integrated within one of the main speakers, and unfortunately, without proper equipment, it's tricky to test properly. Given that there was no sound distortion, it may be a different issue. Honestly, I'd recommend taking it to a workshop.

Thanks! I took it to a local car audio specialist, and it turned out to be a defective amplifier that killed the whole system. Repair cost was around 280€. Thanks for your advice!
