hello new a3 owner

mattdonut · 01-05-2008, 09:49 AM

hello all just bought myself a 2000 A3 1.6 se
and im well pleased with it so far apart from one problem so i thought id ask on here.
my car has the standard tape deck in it with the audi sub in the back.
which isnt working im getting no sound from the rear doors or the boot sub.
ive had the radio out and all the plugs are in power ,front speakers ,and the one for the line out which i think runs the sub and a red plug with one grey wire in it that runs along the side of the other 3.
ive not got a cd changer.
has the sub amp got its own fuse? ive checked the main block near the sub and its getting power (just no sound ) any ideas?
thanks matt

This may sound daft but is the radio faded fully to the front?? If the fade is set right and you have power to the rear then I'm afraid the rear amp is faulty.
