Rear speakers on my 2011 Spyder RT.
When playing the radio the sound only comes from the front speakers. I tried playing around with the fade feature in the Preferences screen, but still no sound out of the rear speakers. My wife says she cannot understand the radio when it only plays on the front speakers - she just hears noise. Any ideas?

PREFERENCE SCREEN
#1. Did those speakers EVER work #2. I think you may need to explain in detail how you " played around with the FADER "......I'm just trying to narrow down the possibilities so the best advice can be given.................Mike

I don't know if they ever worked. I bought the Spyder (used) in November of 2015. On the fader subject I went to the Preferences menu, selected Audio, Fader, then I tried various settings. When I tried to send some of the sound to the rear speakers through the Fade feature to, for example R4 or R5, the sound volumn coming out of the front speakers decreased but still nothing came out of the rear speakers.

Has the base model RT always had rear speakers? I may be total wrong here but I seem to remember something about that.

...The base 2011 RT didn't have REAR SPEAKERS ........because it didn't have a RADIO......His does, so it must be an " S " or audio & convenience or LTD etc. .....Mike

Need more info. As stated above, if it is an, audio/convenience model, it only has front speakers. If it is a RTs or Ltd, it will have 4.

My bike appears to have 4 speakers. I'll describe the bike when I figure out how to get to the signature line. I'm new to this forum, but I'm already impressed by how you all have shown interest in my situation.

My first a 2012 RTS-SE5 A/C and it came with AM/FM radio and it had front/rear speakers.
The rear/front speakers worked.

I have no idea if the 2011 works the same as my '14 RT-S but this is what I have to do to get the external speakers to play both front and rear which I do not routinely do as I prefer listening through my SMH10.
I press the Mode button to get to Preferences and push the Down arrow to the Audio function. Next I turn on external speakers and then select Fader. Switching to Fader I press the down Arrow button until Fader is at Center. At this point the rear speakers come on and volume is then adjusted by exiting out of Preferences and using the Volume Up or Down button when int RECC screen is in driving mode. The rear speakers are not as loud as the front ones when Fader is set at Center so I can increase the reward bias (R1 to R7) more to balance the front and rear speakers although it doesn't sound anything like a good cage audio system. Even with the Fader bias set to R7 the rear speakers are not as loud as the front one would be at F7. Hope this helps.

otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

If you DO happen to need a set of rear speakers:
Part # 219400150
$154.99
Any 2013 and later RT will already have 4 speakers.
....I paid less than that for FOUR high quality JBL speakers, that will play twice as loud, clear and crisp.........or you can buy the garbage OEM speakers...............your choice .....Mike

Another option
Cashed, I'm not sure of your long term plans, but if you and your wife do enjoy music you may want to do a little research on some of the Bluetooth options. For instance you can add a module to your bike and add units to your helmets and stream the audio to both helmets, you can get just add two Bluetooth units to your helmets and listen to your personal music from a smart phone or tablet that has Bluetooth, quite a few options to think about. My wife and I have the Sena sm10 installed on the bike and we have the 20 s units on our helmets. We can chat with each other, listen to our own iPhone music selections at the same time, and also switch between the radio of the spyder, and by spring we will have the satellite radio hooked up as well! If you can't tell, we really like our music.
Best of luck, and post any questions. There are tons of folks here who have way more knowledge than I do on these subjects.

I think that this is probably the problem. I'm taking my bike to the dealer the day after tomorrow to install a new Kumho Ecsta AST rear tire, a Bajaron bumpskid and swaybar, to repair a clutch fluid leak and maybe to install a gear position sensor. I'll have them check to see if my Spyder has rear speakers. If not I may get a set of the speakers listed above. I'll keep you updated.

this may be a stupid question but gear position sensor?
the problem i have with my rear speakers is the passenger controls dont seem to do anything. They will change the station but the volume doesnt seem to do anything.

Those volume controls for the passenger only work on the volume of BRP's plug-in intercom system.

If you don't have BRP's intercoms; the only radio control that the passenger will have: the ability to change to the next song (or previous song) on an I-Pod.

Well folks, I got my Spyder worked on today. First, my bike does not have rear speakers. It is a standard 2011 RT that had a radio added after purchase and this is why there was no sound coming out of what appeared to be speakers.
My bike also has a new rear tire, a BajaRon swaybar and bump/skid. They also replaced the rear brake pads, adjusted drive belt tension, the rear trunk latch, repaired my difficulty getting into neutral and diagnosed my clutch fluid leak. I have a leaking master cylinder and have a new one on order.
By the way, the swaybar made an amazing improvement in cornering.
