I searched through all of the postings here and didn't see a similar
problem, but maybe someone has seen this before. I have two Avalons
that both have what is probably the same radio problem. The 96 model
has very weak sound in the back speakers. The 99 model has no sound
from the right rear and extremely weak sound from the left rear.
Would this indicate a loose connector in the back of the radio, or are
there other possible culprits?

Thanks for any helpful ideas.

Possibilities are a loose connector at the back of the radio, balance/fade
set to the front, poor ground somewhere, and torn speaker cones.

If you are in the hotter parts of the country and park outside
speakers tend to crap out.

If I was planning on keeping them (Avalon's) I would do some calling
to the stereo shops and replace the speakers - these young guys (well,
most of um) are whizzes at fixing faults.
