The subject says it all, 2015 AF 811S.Kenwood stereo. Fader and balance controlseach affect one inside and one outside speaker.So I believe the unit is wired wrong, but maybedisconnecting the outside leads is the easiest answer.Thanks in advance for your help.

Hopefully an AF owner might verify- or dealer/mfg.But if (sounds like only a pair of speakers inside) the balance doesnt change power between the 2 inside speaker, means no left or right channel-no stereo?. I could see using fader control either outside or inside. But description makes it sound like speakers are split inside/outside by either left channel or right instead of front to back-which I would agree wrong (if its stereo). Odd

Should be connected to the stereo. I'd pull it and remove wires for the temporary fix.

Hmmmm.... I can't remember how mine were originally wired. I ended up installing switches so I could cut off the outside speakers. I think the outside were connected to the same stereo leads as the main living area speakers.... which is an odd way to install them since it screws up the ohms/impedance stuff.

My outside speakers are considered the REAR speakers and the inside the front speakers so the Fader is what I use to control the outside volume. Yours should probably be hooked up that way. I would bet that if you pull out the stereo all of the speaker wires are there, it just might be a mater of figuring out which one is which and then connecting them to the right channels.

On an AF front speakers should be wired together, and rears should be wired together. Every time you turn your battery cut off switch on you have to redo the "fade" control. If not the outside speakers (R on the control) will be putting out with the inside speakers (F on the control)). You have to fade out the (R) completely and there should be no sound from the rear speakers. If its not working like that than someone wired your speakers wrong.
