Mike C Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 Hi, My 2008 Fox has the same symptoms. First thought there might be a break (due to flexing when doors open/shut) in the wiring to the door having had this with other cars. Removed door card and found there was a small voltage on the speaker feed when the radio is on. Surprised to find that pressing on the speaker cone caused it to work (on both sides), electrical connections on the speaker itself seem ok. Very weird - while unlikely it is as if the coil is not positioned correctly in relation to the magnet - but no obvious damage. So as a bodge I have cut pieces of foam plastic sponge and trapped them between the cone and the grill on the door card - not hi fidelity! but better than no bass at all.

lupogtiboy Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 I'd try another set of speakers and see if that cures the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeeprk Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 Could anyone please let me know how to remove the door card? I have a basic Fox with window winding handles and not electric like the urban models. Many Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyd07 Posted January 3, 2020 Report Share Posted January 3, 2020 hi, can anyone tell me what cable adapter i need to get so that i can use after market speakers for the front ? or can i get speakers that already have the fox connector ?

Rich Posted January 3, 2020 Report Share Posted January 3, 2020 I'd leave the original wiring intact and just run some new wires direct from the headunit. If people are losing bass and it's a common problem just do a workaround straight away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
