Unique speaker issue

Hey all.

Went wheeling the other day, and driving home had the radio up and everything seemed to be working okay, but windows were down, wasnt paying that much attention, etc.

Anyway, yesterday, I notice that my rear speakers arent putting out at all, my front right both seem to be working, but front left, only the tweeter is working with no mid range.

Ive checked both radio fuses and they are in the green, my settings on my HU (Pioneer AppRadio 3) are balanced with no indication of movement (I dont adjust them at all) and everything looks to be good from the outside.

There was quite a bit of jostling on the trail, and also quite a few puddles, but the speakers were putting out all day long with no issues from what I could tell, so Im kind of at a loss as to how stuff would just start fritzing out....

My next step is to remove my door panels I suppose to see if a connection got knocked loose, but the issue on the left front too has me wondering if it goes deeper than that?

Has anyone experienced this scenario before? Im pretty inexperieenced when it comes to diagnosing electrical issues but are there other fuses I should check? Is there a specific side that the harness connects on, or is it one per side? Stock amp going out? Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

if it is both rear i would guess that the second radio harness came loose behind the radio. the second plug is just the rear speakers but that would explain the from. if you changed out your oem speakers it could of shorted or blown.

Thanks Truck!

Im gonna pull the head unit out Thursday and check it out, its an aftermarket radio but not sure if the previous owner did the speakers too.

Thanks for the tip though!
 
I would also solder/heatshrink all the connections if that was not done. I have found this makes the best and strongest connections and never had an issue with wiring after I started doing it. It takes some time and is a little annoying, but keeps many weird problems away.
