Hi guys,
I’m new to this so I will try to make it short.
I recently bought a 2000 VW jetta with, I think, a monsoon stereo in it. It
does not say monsoon on it and it does not say monsoon when you power it
up, but it has 8 speakers, the amp and the the HU with tape deck and cd
player with cd changer hook up. Anyway the rear speakers were not working
so I had the HU removed to discover the wires to the amp were cut, so I
reconnected them and like magic they began to work again. Once I turned
the car off then back on the speakers cut out so I reconnected it again and
they once again began to work, so I left it alone. I than went to turn the
car on the next day and the battery was dead, I reached around to the trunk
compartment to feel a warm amp that was probably running all night long.
Does anyone know if this is a wiring problem or an amplifier problem, or
maybe a HU problem.
Please help me on this…I am ready to rip the entire stereo out and tie it
to my bumper and drag it down the street.
Thanks,Mike

I have seen "VERY FEW" amps stick on, but first you must make sure you got
all the wires on the HU correct.

All the wires I reconnected were color coded, so I just match them up and
tested them individually. They all worked fine.

Could a previous owner have done a hack job with an aftermarket stereo,
then did a hack job to put the original stereo back in when s/he sold it?
If so, you’re now stuck trying to fix the hack job.

This could be true, since the front stereo speakers were wired directly to
the HU and not from the existing amplifier…..which does not make me very
happy.
