I read the other posts on the speaker buzzing and assume I have bad amplifiers but the tone coming out of the speaker is so loud that I thought I would ask if anyone else is having this issue?
I also noticed that my left side front speakers are a lot louder than the right side and was wondering if I had a bad amplifier up front as well?
Thanks in advance for any help. I really appreciate it.
Very loud tone from right rear speaker, like an alarm tone, is that the amp?

You really need to see Jay and read as much here and in the FSM as you can before then.

Does the "tone" get softer as you adjust the fader control from right to left?
If it does, your "tone"is coming from the radio head end, not the amplifier for that speaker.
However, if the "tone" stays at the same loudness when you adjust the fader, it means that the "tone" is being generated at that speaker's amplifier.

Sounds like the typical amplifier failure - made me look in the rear view mirror the first time it happened to me...

Capacitor quality and temperature range vs age have improved dramatically in 20 years.Replacement [with better specs] of all capacitors in a 20 year old vehicle [or home stereo amplifier] is always worthwhile.
My first expiences with this occurred in mid 60's when I repaired vacuum tube radios................after the first/2nd set of tubes burned out we always replaced the power supply capacitors because of hum and buzzing.......depending on the radios location in a room........near the HOT coal stove heater faster failure.
Pretty much a miracle that things last 20 years considering the low cost nature of automobiles and the temperature range they encounter.

Why don't you ever make an effort to try and answer a person's question? I think it's safe to say, that no one cares about irrelevant "factoids" you respond with. It's okay to not know the answer to questions asked.Q45tech wrote:Capacitor quality and temperature range vs age have improved dramatically in 20 years.Replacement [with better specs] of all capacitors in a 20 year old vehicle [or home stereo amplifier] is always worthwhile.

That is one of the most ignorant posts I have read in a while on NICO. Without Q45tech there is not Q45 section in my opinion.seldomseen wrote:

Plus her question was already answered.
