Have you checked the fade setting on the stereo, all the sound may be set to fade to the front, since their were no rear Speakers in the car, turn the fade to -1 or zero this will level the sound between the front and rear of the car, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confused cus speaker wires were there. defo should be a fade mate, when you cycle through the menu and you reach balance press left or right or one of the keys it should then give options of bass, trebile, fade and balance also did you use splicing blocks as sometimes these may not splice through the plastic sleeve correctly sorry mate check the link below, perhaps your stereo does not have fade as standard very strange Click Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham2good Posted November 1, 2011 Author Share Posted November 1, 2011 Yeah did that check and theres no fade setting on there I'd thought there'd be too but nothing. Do you think because car came with just front Speakers the setting would be disabled? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think because car came with just front speakers the setting would be disabled? Yeah it can be activated by ford mate, just another example of ford getting money hungry on aftercare, same with the new V serial stereo codes too need to pay ford for the code to reactivate the stereo when the power goes or a fuse blows in the car, the older stereo the M serial numbers, anyone could obtain the code for free and they have done the same thing with footwell lights on the focus disabled the power so you will pay them to hook the car up to their computer for them to click a button and make it happen possibly charging you £50. It was easily avoidable with the footwell lights as we just run a new cable from the interior light loom to the footwell, but unfortunately you will have to go to ford about the speaker issue mate. get them to update the software on your stereo :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
