87 bose speaker question
Quick question. In installed an aftermarket Pioneer head unit today from Corvette Central super easy install with the harness provided. Question is on my right side front door speaker I get very little sound. I thought maybe it was a bad amp because I thought it was dead on that side before I installed the stereo however after I installed it I tested each part of the car i was getting very faint sound out of it. Similar to if you just had the volume super low. Is this still the amp that is bad or something else like a fuse of sorts? I hear the amps in the doors are a pain to get to so if it is that and anyone has any helpful advice or a guide on that let me know.

Well if thats the case, try switching the speaker and see what happens and then you'll know the speaker is shot. If a speaker you know is good does the same thing, then it could be a loose connection somewhere to that channel or worst case senario is a bad radio channel. Try checking faders, balances and all of that as well. Maybe the fresh radio amp was too much power for the Bose speaker to handle.
