Weird stock radio/speaker problem????

[tr10av]

Basically my radio works and my dash speakers work but other than that my rear and door speakers do not work at all. I've looked at all the wires I can find and they seem to be good. Hopefully this is just a problem with my radio because I'm putting in a CD player soon but if not I guess I'll have to buy an amp and some speakers.

Anyone got any ideas on the possible problems or fixes? I find it hard to believe all 4 speakers are blown. The car doesn't have an external amp so it's not that. I'm at a loss for whats causing this. Am I just going to have to buy an amp to run my speakers?

how old are the speakers ? if they are older and the factory ones, they may all be bad

Another weird thing to consider. I just looked up the wiring diagram and the 2 dash speakers are wired directly to the door speakers so that rules out something in the wiring.

But I'm getting my 6x9s for the back in a couple days and my new HU installed in a couple days whenever I find time so I guess I'll find out then. So I guess if I have to I'll buy some door speakers as well.

the dash speakers are often just tweeters and are connected to the door speakers with a cap that acts a a simple crossover

So basically the problem has to be the speakers right?

that's what I would guess without troubleshooting it in person

Hi, I just purchased a SONY VAIO desktop computer and decided not to use the stock speakers, but to use my Viewsonic speakers. It didn't make any sound! Nevertheless, when I tried with the stock SONY (cheap) speakers, then it works.

Observation: The plugs of both speakers are exactly the same size and type. They both have AC plug for power. I tested the Viewsonic speakers on another desktop computer and it worked perfectly.

Anyone knows what the heck is going on?
