One half of speaker system not working

[Jackson LeBlanc]

I have a VDP soundbar and aftermarket speakers in my yj. Recently I have noticed that the passenger side of the speakers has cut off, with no audio. Mind you, the right speaker in the dash is new, same with the sound bar. I determined it wasn’t the amp, as the speakers in the dash aren’t connected to the amp, rather the head unit. The soundbar if you go up close when you’re connected, it has static coming out like the speaker isn’t playing any audio. Do any of yall have any idea what’s going on? I’m thinking it may be the head unit.

Could be that channel in the head unit, or a chaffed wire.

I too am thinking of a blown channel in the head unit.

I would be thinking head unit. How do you have it wired? Did you wire in a oem style connector or just taped/butt connectors, etc. You could swap the left to right channel and see if the other side plays? Then you would know the channel is cooked. Or swap in another head unit if you have one laying around.
