Seat Tarraco speakers

[nathanallinson08]

Good Afternoon,

I have a 2020 seat tarraco and randomly all 4 door speakers stopped working, i have identified the speakers have all just failed rather than head unit or anything else. I can buy standard stock speakers for £160 however does anyone have any other recommendations for speakers for me. Id go upto £200 if the sound improved slightly however i was fine with the stock tarraco ones.

Many Thanks
Nathan

Its a big weird they all failed together. Feels like a short if they did. Probability theory. Probably of A and B and C and D - whatever too long ago. Needs a Google. Pretty remote. Its not just one speaker in those but a number. Tweeters etc. Feels like the infotainment unit has a fault.

They are fed individually by the mib unit. Suspect it doesnt have a pre amp. Suspect you did a long press on the on / off switch to force a reboot in case the unit needed it ?. If it's a short it will blow a new set.

Can try magicing up the genie @East Yorkshire Retrofits . These days car speakers are integrated into the system, not how they use to be.

Nb pretty remote. Multiplied out.

The chances of 4 speakers failing together are very very very very very low

It’s more likely your infotainment system has failed meaning
1 no output
2 it’s killed the speakers

Hi,

Ive reset the infotainment system, checked fuses, checked head unit all looks ok. I used some spare wire and wired up a spare speaker a friend lent me to each plug simultaneously and music played through that speaker. I also connected a 12v battery to my existing speakers with wire to test them and none of them worked. So potentially something has happened elsewhere in the car for all 4 speakers to fail, as like you say it seems very unusual for them to all fail at once, but plugging in a spare one at a time it worked. So I was just going to gamble and buy 4 new speakers and hope it doesn’t happen again whatever has happened.

Is that at the socket by the car door speaker that is bust or on the infotainment connection ?. Thinking you could have a short in the wiring or some weird harness socket further on that's got unplugged. @East Yorkshire Retrofits is your man (I dont know whether those cables then go on into a socket further on, then off to the speakers ?) or a short in the wiring that causes the infotainment system to clamp up output.

Hi,

So the clip that attaches to each speaker, I connected wire from the end to a spare speaker and the spare speaker worked in each door I tried it in.
I individually tested each speaker I currently have in, and none of them worked.
I agree there may be a deeper issue which caused them all to break, however when testing for a few seconds with the spare speaker they all worked.
I understand it’ll be a gamble buying new speakers and their is a deeper fault which could cause the new ones to fail, but I have investigated as much as I can (not car savvy) and I cannot locate any other issues.

Interesting. Something going on obviously.

A random one. Kids and adults can poke things in the CD slot if it's a mib2. Having things floating around inside could cause an issue. I did have a SD card fall into there once... difficult to see the SD slots in an Arona. You do it via touch since you cant see, running your finger from one SD slot to the second... too high and that's the SD slot. Lesson learnt. Had to break the seal. Open the unit up and remove said foreign object. No harm other items could cause shorting. If a mib3, no CD slot so it wont be that. Some Tarracos came with mib2 till they changed to mib3. It's a known thing with mib2s whether that would overload the speakers if you hit the right components. Possibly. Dunno
