First things first, I've searched and searched on here and Google and cannot come up with a definitve answer.

I just picked up an 04 TL about a week ago. My radio and everything turns on just fine. My problem is that only my front drivers side speaker plays the loudest. All the settings for my system are centered. It's a stock radio and speakers.

 

I'm thinking the stock amp could be bad. Does my problem sound like a symptom of a bad amp or would my speakers not work at all if the amp was no good?

 

Bad amp bro. Classic TL problem.

 

Dude there is a How to thread in the Audio section of the 3rd Gen TL subforum that shows you how to deal with this issue.

HOW TO: OEM Audio Amp Repair - fix buzzing/noise/no volume!

 

Just buy a new amp bro. Playing with solder and circuit boards is not for common folk.

 

Figured most peeps here are different folk, hence the link to repair.

 

Most here appreciate the vote of confidence but it's a bad amp to begin with and it would be easier to replace than fix.
