Default C5 01 Speaker Problem

I just noticed that my front right side speakers aren't working.There is no sound coming out of both of them.What can it be ? The H/U ? It's a stock Bose system.

Just to verify it's both speakers.... Turn the fade/balance so only front right would be playing, then adjust the tone **** all the way in both directions. If both are really out then I'd guess at HU.

If it's only one speaker that's out post it here.

Any chance your dash or door skin have been apart lately, could possibly be a loose plug.

Wires in door accordian could have been damaged also. Best way to narrow it down farther would be to swap speakers left/right to verify it's not the speakers, then use a meter to check for broken wires from dash to door.
