C2 audio system dead

Hey, I've got a 2007 Citroen C2 with a gasoline engine and I'm running into a weird audio issue. The sound system is completely dead – no radio, no USB audio, nothing. I've checked the fuses and they seem fine. I'm suspecting maybe it's a wiring issue or a dead head unit, but wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this before I start tearing things apart. The car has 93118 km on it. Any thoughts?

I had a similar problem with my C2. Radio silence, the whole shebang. Have you checked the bass speaker? Sometimes a short there can kill the whole system. It's a long shot, but worth a look before you start rewiring everything.

Interesting, I hadn't considered the bass speaker. Where is it located in the C2, and is it easy to get to? Also, what kind of symptoms did you experience before it went completely silent? Any sound distortion or anything like that?

Yeah, mine was just the same: perfect silence all of a sudden. I had to have the garage look at it. It turns out the speaker was indeed faulty. It's probably best to just let professionals handle this, unless you have the right tools to access the speaker safely.

Thanks for the tip! Took it to a workshop, and you were spot on. The bass speaker was indeed defective. Repair cost me 280€. Appreciate the help!
