Hi all - I am trying to get my cabinet speaker working. I have tested it with a 9v battery and it gets signal. It has, on very rare occasion, played music although briefly, so I know that the speaker itself works. I tested it with a DMM across its terminals and it gets a regular impedance(?) reading matching its Ohms rating (around 4). I'm not sure where to go from here; perhaps it is not getting enough power? I have tried reseating the connectors on the A/V board but to no avail. The wiring between the speaker and the board seem ok as well! Thanks in advance.

I've removed the wires from the harness and checked them completely. No issues there. Reseated and tried again but no luck. There must be a board issue; capacitor/resistor(?)

I'm wondering if the fact that it does occasionally come on for 20-30 seconds indicate anything..

I know you said the speaker tested at 4 ohm impedance. But did you try another speaker just to be certain? The resistance could possibly be failing upon the speaker vibrating/activating. So, the speaker could still be faulty even though the resistance checked out.
