Is it just mine or is something Broken? Cassette only on driver side speakers
Just bought a 89 Firebird Formula and have been using a Cassette to Auxiliary adapter. When I do so, however, only the driver side speakers are working. Is this common? How would recommend diagnosing the problem and then finally fixing it?
I was going to upgrade anyway to increase my bass and clarity. To that note - are there any speakers coming highly recommended from thirdgen.org fellas (and girls) haha. Reasonably priced is ideal, not looking for a sound studio mobile just some luxury at a fair price. If that exists anymore ha.

Does a real cassette work properly? If so make sure you have it plug all the way in. Try wiggling the wire could be a bad wire. If it wont play a real cassette it's your radio.
I use a Phillips adapter I got a Wall-Mart and it works great in my mercury.

When you play the radio do all 4 speakers work?? It they do, then it is either your head unit is defective or the cassette adapter is broken? Try a working known good adapter 1st before you assume your head unit is broke..
