Hey Everyone,
I seem to be having some problems with my stock radio in my 91 Grand
Am. I had the brakes serviced, and when I got the car back, I turned on
the radio, and I am having a breaking up noise in my front right
speaker. Also, all my bass is gone. It has about as much bass as an
alarm clock radio. Even if I try to move my bass slider up, there's no
difference. Whats wrong?!
Thanks,
Gary

I doubt the brake job has anything to do with it, unless the mechanic turned
the radio up a little too loud. You might have a torn cone. That would
explain both the distortion and the loss of bass. After 15 years, the paper
looses its strength and goes easily.

connections yesterday and it made no difference...

You sometimes find old leaves, acorns, paper clips, mouse nests, and all
manner of junk in some of those speakers.
