I bought a 2008 ex-l v6 no nav sedan back in november and love it. But today for no reason the front speakers produce no sound! I checked all the settings to no avail. Any ideas before the trip to the dealer?

If it is no signal, I'd say there is a loose connection somehwere in the amplifier. As I understand it, the premium sound system Accord has a separate power source rather than power from the head unit. The other day I got a $950 quote to install my 5 channel Alpine amp. Apparently you need to bypass the stock amp and reprocess signls and crap...With parts, labor, wires, it is not a cheap add on.

My guess is that if you have no sound, it has to do with that amplifier. If the speaker was blown, you would still hear sound - very distorted sound.

Thats what I thought, but then I considered the ANC fed to the front as well.

Dealer?

Sounds like an amp became disconnected. Seems like what happened to the first 08 Accord I ordered (all amps came off the truck disconnected). The dealer will fix it, unless you want to strip all the paneling off yourself.

is the amp in the dash or trunk?

Everything is controlled by computers and rebooting sometimes gives them a smack. Keep your audio codes on hand and disconnect the battery.

If not a blown amp I'm thinking software glitch before loose connection. Just seems weird that both front speakers would go out as if the sound was faded all the way to the rear. Plus, if it was a loose connection, you'd think there would be the occasional static or something. With wiring harnesses in modern cars, loose connections would be most unlikely (but not impossible).

:dunno:

Well today, out of frustration, and the belief that the problem was not a loose connection, I turned the ignition on and off 6-7 times (fast). At first the speakers in the rear made a thumping noise, then the fronts started working.
It still seems as if the fronts fluctuate in volume, but they have not dropped out since.
I'm sure they will work fine when I finally get it to the dealer...

Yeah, I've been having intermittent rear right speaker problems as well. Don't know what's triggering it, but once in a while, out of the blue (not over bumps), that speaker would blast out static distortion for a couple of seconds and the recover. Waiting to do the oil change at the same time for the dealer to look at it.
