Default 1998 RAM 3500 infinity system

Hey y'all hope all is well, I got the infinity system in my truck. Everything is factory. My front speakers and driver side tweeter are not working! Regardless! I've switched out head units checked fuses and everything. Only rear speakers and passenger tweeter are working! Has anyone had this problem?

Need to bypass the amps for the front speakers. I would bet your aftermarket head unit doesn't have a provision for supplying power to them.

It's a factory head unit. Chrysler CD-casette player.

It's a wonder the CD player hasn't taken a dive.

Oh the cd oh yeah it's half dead but it's very nostalgic to play cassettes again from Genesis and Phil Collins lol.

Soon as I get the front speakers working as in a factory set up I'm going to put a in dash DVD player with flip down screen for the back seats in. Just wanna get the front speakers and driver side tweeter working.

I wouldn't wast my time and effort on the factory speakers.
The factory head unit is low output, and relies on the power amps on the back of the speakers to get the output.

Find some 9x5 aftermarket speakers that will work with your planned DVD head unit, and do it all together.
Follow the rewire for the door speaker connector and the tweeter should work.
