Wife's JVC headunit

[Frank Enstein]

The Astro's JVC head unit won't play out of the rear speakers. I believe the speaker leads shorted to one another and killed the amp.

The HU has pre-outs for the rear channel. Is it possible to add a small amp so the rears will play again?

I don't want to get another HU because Momma has post-concussive syndrome from the accident that killed her last Astro and she would have a hard time learning to work a new one.

What amp is dead? If the h/u only has one fuse it's probably only got one amp.
The short answer to your question is yes, but I'd investigate the issue a little further.

The front still sings but the rear doesn't after one of the rear speakers fell out! Put it back in and zilch.

Stock wiring?

Stock wiring?

Sort of. It's a cargo conversion van so the wiring was there when we bought the van.

I'd run a speaker wire out of the h/u direct to a speaker and see if that cured it.
