C5z radio issue, please help
2003 Z06, factory bose system all around, had a r/r speaker that was going in and out, I figured it was a bad speaker so decided on replacing them with JL's, so install the JL's and guess what...same prob, no sound from R/R speaker, so I poke around a little and decide to test the ground, I just ran a test wire from the neg speaker terminal to a chassis ground, and it comes right on with no issues.........
So....
Does this indicate a bad channel in the head unit?
bad ground in the head unit?
Bad amp to that speaker??
any way to test to know for sure??
any issues with just running a new ground wire to a chassis ground and leaving it that way???
thanks guys

wire to chassis ground really isnt the right way to do it, i would test for continuity from the radio to the speaker on the wire
