The bass in my Sony 3-way 6X9 speakers wont work

I have two Sony 3-way 6X9 speakers in my car, the right speakers bass and sound work fine while the left speaker is too quite and the bass doesn't work at all. I had them installed several years ago and both used to work fine. But that left speaker is now acting up.Is there a quick way I can fix this or am I just going to have to take it somewhere to get it fixed?

If these speakers are several years old, chances are that the left one is just blown. could be a loose wire, but if not, it would be cheaper to get new speakers than to get that one fixed

SOURCE: Sony XS-V1342A Coaxial Car Speaker

You amp has a low pass filter turned on. There should be a switch to turn it off on the amp, otherwise you need a different amp. Be careful, 600 watts is WAY over the v1342a's rated power of 45 watts rms. If you turn it up too loud, that amp will easily blow your speakers.

SOURCE: have hooked up a sonycdx-gt290 radio into a1993

The code for the wiring colors should be on the back of the radio. But, you can figure this out with one extra speaker on the bench (or floor board) The colors are in pairs = "gray - gray with stripe" The stripe will be the negative side of your speaker. So you will have a Gray pair, white pair, blue pair and green. Using one speaker on the floor or already mounted, hook it up to one pair of colored wires, lets start with gray. Now run the radio balance right then left, then fade front to back, to see which your speaker is hooked to. Make a note of which, then the next color run the balance right then left, then fade front to back, then the next so on and so forth. This way you will know which is which and you will have it written down for future reference when you move the radio into a new car. So if your gray pair has no sound on the left balance you know it is a right side speaker, then if it has no sound when faded to the front you know it is a rear speaker, so in that case Gray would be "right rear", Hope this helps Fixya up.

My amp won't play bass everything is hooked up

I have a similar problem with my 2012 civic, I hooked up my 1800w kenwood mp to my 2 12" w6s and 1 song plays and sounds great, the rest of my songs have no bass from the subs, just the car speakers sound normal so I dont know what the hell thats all about. I thought it was a wiring issue but I can play the one song all day and it sounds perfect so any suggestions? thanks in advance

I have Mercury 2.1 white speaker.It works fine for half an hour but after that the woofer's sound stops-start frequently at highest bass but when I reduce the bass It works normally with no distortion.

If highest bass means you are boosting the bass for effect then it may be some form of speaker protection cutting in.
The most likely is a Polyswitch, which increases in resistance as it heats up when too much current is going to the speakers. The sound resumes when it has cooled down.

Amp went into protect, but front speakers sound distorted too

If the amp still goes into protect mode, the easiest thing to do is disconnect the RCA cables from the amp and see if still goes into protect mode (after turning off/on). If it does, the issue lies in the amp or the wiring to/from the amp (most likely case). Check to make sure no speaker wires came loose and touched +12V or ground (car body). From the sound of it, my guess is something internal to the amp died and will need repair.
