Audi RS2 oem rear active speakers

OK - smells like maybe dead woofers then.

A better test is to connect any working speaker to the rear connection point to verify audio signal is getting there… and if not then check at rear speaker cables where they attach to gamma unit.

Surely a multimeter test across positive and negative terminals will confirm continuity and therefore remove the speakers from the equation...speaker failure is unlikely... shorting out the speaker termimals will usually result in damage to the amp...

Axtive speakers do not work with an amplifier, as the active speakers have a built in amplifier...if you are combining the two systems then you will encounter serious problems.

Hi all. I've been doing some test with multimeter and seems the problem is in the radio itself.

There's no signal at rear loom or rear output pins in the radio.

Finally have connected rear speakers directly to front loom and I got sound!

Mystery solved!
