Ranger audio system failure

Hmm, sound distortion... now that you mention it, I did notice the bass was a bit muddy and kind of vibrating strangely lately. Could a faulty bass speaker really kill the entire audio system, though? You'd think at least the radio would still work!

Yep, same thing happened to me. Blew the speaker, and it took everything else down with it. It's like one bad apple spoiling the whole bunch. I'd say get it checked by a pro. Could be other things, but that speaker sounds like the prime suspect.

Thanks a million for the advice! You were spot on – it WAS the bass speaker! Apparently, it shorted out and took the whole system down with it. Had it replaced for 280€ and now I'm back in business! You saved me a ton of headaches. Cheers!

Sounds familiar! I had a similar issue with my old Peugeot 206. Everything just went dead silent. For me it was the bass speaker. Those cheap speakers can only take so much pounding before the bass drops... permanently! Any sound distortion or quality issues before it went kaput?
