Default Bose Problem, Need Help!

I have a new to me 88 corvette with bose radio. Someone had put a bose cd radio from a later generation. The left to to right and the front to back did not work properly and I purchased a different radio and hooked it up and the front to back still does not work right. It seems backward and the left front speaker does not work at all. I checked the wires to the left front speakers with an ohm meter and it checked out OK. I have double checked all the wiring with the new radio and it all is wired correctly but seems backward.
Thanks

Bose radios use a CDM module. should be under the pass side dash ion the earlier models. may have and issue with that possibly.

what radio did you put in. Are you sure everything is bose?
Non working speaker can be bad speaker, bad speaker relay, or something wrong with the rado

my CDM module went bad on my 94, radio would turn on but shut off and everything was wacky. Spoke to Dr. Dons radio repair and got it straightened out. maybe give them a call
