190E
190E with new speakers and right side doesnt work.
I just found out the code for my stock stereo and the left side works fine but the right side doesn't. The right side MIGHT work when I put the volume all the way up. When I have it on medium the speaker crackles to the beat some times.
I remembered I had a $150 Best Buy video card so I bought some Pioneer's for the car (4's and some 5.25's) and installed them myself. Now the left side still works and it sounds better but not as good as it would be with an aftermarket and an amp. Whatever but the right doesn't work and again, when I put the volume all the way up the speaker barely hits.
I know its not the side settings in the stereo. Could this be a wiring problem? or a stereo problem?
Im getting a system installed but I guess now I have to install new wiring too.
Thanks!

Dark,
I just went thru the same thing with my 93 190E. If you pull the radio and swap the left and right speaker channels, you will confirm or eliminate the right channel of the radio as the problem. If you get sound on the right, but not on the left, start shopping for a new radio. Good luck. Chip
