Could use some help with speakers

Radec · 15 May 2014 at 20:11

I drive an AstraVan sportive 2004, and probably will do untilll the end

Anyway, the right speaker has never worked, and the standard stereo is shocking.
I'm going to buy a new stereo and speakers soon-ish, but today in the meantime I decided to remove the door panels ready for when I do.

The left was working alright, but right, nothing, so I removed both and swapped, and to my surprise the speakers were not faulty, it seems to be the wiring...

I'm still going to get some decent speakers and the new radio, but I dont know what to do about the wiring??
Does anyone know what I should do about this?

Thanks

Check the wire for signal with a multimeter? Could be a knackered channel on the back of the existing head unit.

I'll see if I can grab a multimeter to test the wire, I'm expecting it to be dead though.

between the door and body, the rubber seems fine, and it can unplug from the door like a socket

Ok.
If is the wiring, what do I do about that?
Replace the whole lot for the new head unit?

Incase any of you were worried sick about my problem:

My new head unit arrived today before I could even test any wires. So I tried plugging in the new stereo and both speakers worked, so I guess the old stereo must have have been dog
