Rear Premium Speakers E28 M5

Post by Syndrome »

I’m trying to figure out what the issue is with my OEM rear premium speakers/tweeters in my 1988 M5.

Bottom line, in the back, the only sound I get is from my tweeters. I have no [known] amp and have wired both the speakers directly to known working outputs (one of the front speakers, which is working normally), and there is no change. I see there is the system of coiled red wires around the magnet, plugs a capacitor (resistor?). BTW I have a CD43 (Business CD) installed, so it’s pretty simple gear.

Can anyone help me, please? Is this a known problem that would be resolved by replacing the 5.25 speaker? Thank you!
