I have no sound coming from my speakers from any source (Nav, Radio, iPod, Bluetooth etc) I do have an aftermarket Kenwood head unit fitted which has worked fine for the past 8 Months. The head unit powers up as normal and I've checked all the physical connections and fuses and they all appear fine. I'm assuming there's an amp somewhere that is part of the Auditorium system, can anybody point me to where this is in the car or any other pointers ie if it has a separate fuse thanks Mark

I've refitted the OE Becker unit and it's doing the same ie no sound :(

There are know issues of the speeker cables touching the body and causing these symptons. Try a search on here as I do recall a cure being posted about 14 months ago.

Hi Mate, if you are still looking for the Amp you should find it hiding behind the battery.
Hope you get it all sorted soon.

thanks again for the suggestions/ ideas. A further update as I've been able to spend some time on it again today, the head unit is working when fitted to another car. The 30amp amplifier fuse is good as is the 25amp fuse in the side of the amp. The amp is getting 12v on it's main feed and a 12v signal on it's exciter circuit. If I plug a speaker into each of the 4 inputs to the amp I get sound from all Much as I'd hoped not it does seem to be the amp that's at fault and a trawl of Maseratilife suggests failure is not that uncommon. I'm going to send it to an electrical wizard I know to see if it can be fixed and also get onto David Askwith/ Eurospares to see if there's any secondhand ones around

At the risk of sounding like a cock, you've not muted it or something have you?

well it's quite possible I'm being a cock :) but the head unit is playing so no mute there and I can;t think of a way the amp would have muted on it's own
