Radio and speakers, mine are messing up Options

[97celiman]

Alright so my car has an old kenwood radio/tapedeck combo pretty much identical to the stock radio. i play my ipod through the tapeplayer with one of those tape ipod deals. the other day (im not sure if this is why) someone slammed my door pretty hard and now the passenger side front speaker just whines when i play the tape player (think of that high pitched mosquito ringtone). so i've just been putting the balance all on the drivers side-HOWEVER- when i put the radio on the radio function, i can get sound out of all my speakers, no issue.

I have stock speakers and what not-i dont know how old this kenwood is but its just tape and radio it had a ten disk changer in the back but i took it out cuz i dont have the magazine in it...the cord still runs to my trunk also.

How can i isolate different things to figure out what it is, i dont want to buy another tape thing and i can take the door panel off no prob, but if it (the speaker) works when i play the radio i dont see how it can be that, can be it.

Side note, can anyone please post good aftermarket radios with a tape/cd combo? just one cd. I really like being able to play my ipod through the tape thing cuz the reception is clear and i can still select songs on my ipod. I know some units will block the ipods screen (like alpine it just says alpine on the ipod) i dont like that.

All help is appreciated-sorry for the novel
thanks

haha what a coincidence my g/f has that alpine or one very similair. i like hers except it blocks her ipod screen (just says alpine) i think this is for driving safety but i dont like it.
and im all for replacing the tape player, i just want to be able to access my ipod from the ipod screen and not have it blocked (i change songs constantly).

Griff-does this alpine make it possible to go to artists ect. also the other reason i like the tape is the cord is long enough that it goes down to pocket below the ac control and fits perfectly
ya i have a few friends that have some used headunits that i might look at-ones an alpine and ones a sony

skiner- on that kenwood, the ipod connects through bottom of the ipod and are you still able to control the ipod on the ipod or only through the radio

my stock speakers are ok, just because of money they may have to wait unless i can find a sweet deal, im not big into flashy systems just upgrading stock speakers and tweeters
