Default A little help please, 2000 RT/10....

I can't seem to get the speakers in the hood to work What am I missing here, I spent $50K and can't even get the full stereo sound. So what's the trick?

Make sure the ground wire is hooked up properly. If it is, then the speakers may be blown. I have an extra set if you need them.

Are you sure they are still there? Most vipers I have seen only have the speaker grills. I would imagine people have taken yours.

Dude, check your fuse box. It's in the back under the spare tire. Also, pull the one for the governor. More top end.



Your welcome.

You just need to upgrade to a higher quality set like I did. The OEM speakers suck.

Ron I'm sure if the car has ever been washed the speakers are blown. Most everyone forgets to tape and plastic them prior to washing the car

And this place has wayyyyyyyy better smilies than the Alley. Somebody needs to get off their ass over there and implement some of these smilies from here!

Check the fader in the stereo, make sure the front-front speakers are turned up, if that doesnt work make sure the speaker wire that comes up from the horn relay is pluged in
Also I heard that the only cars that came with the hood speakers are the black cars, they are so much faster than the other colors that they needed the front-front hood speakers.

Ron, do you K&N's? I had a friend that got his hood speakers sucked into his K&N's that were loose. It was a hose clamp I think.

Ron, those are the AC controls, not the radio controls.

Be sure you roll down your windows if it is a hardtop. The sound insulation qualities in the hard top model are so good that you might not hear the sound with your windows up. BTW the hood speakers were designed for the RT folks to have a better audio experience back in the early days.
