Alright. If you are trying to have all 10 speakers amplified, + a subwoofer... you're talking real work. And cost.

You would need a 5 channel amplifier at minimum. And you would need to replace ALL of the speakers. The fronts with a 3-way component setup that has a passive crossover. And the rears with a 2-way component setup that has a passive crossover.

If you go the above route, 1 channel of the amp will drive the left front speakers (all 3 of them), 1 channel the right front speakers (all 3 of them), 1 channel the left rear speakers (2 in the door I believe), 1 channel the right rear speakers (2 in the door), and the final channel will power your subwoofer.

It's... a lot of work. What are your ultimate goals with the setup? Sounds like a friend's nice gesture has turned into a real task here. Just noticed those front speakers they gave you are 2 way also. The reason you aren't getting volume out of them is that all the frequencies above (guessing here) ~200hrz are removed in the factory amplifier. Those frequencies are fed to the mid (dash) and even higher frequencies to the tweeters (on the door). The factory amps for the DSP and business 10 channel amps do a lot of crossover work internally before passing signals on to the speakers.

One speaker not working is getting complicated. So, how about something else. Depin the door woofers and do an amp add on those?
I just want all the speakers to work. I've been given the go head to replace the radio display if necessary.

Does the tweeter work on the door with the dead speaker? Does the dash mid work on the side that has the dead speaker?

If they do, and the only problem is 1 dead speaker. The easiest and most cost effective job would be to replace the door woofer (the big speaker on the door) with a replacement 2ohm OE unit.

I looked through my stash and have 3 2ohm door woofers left over from my stereo project. You are welcome to them if you want them. They will need to be reinstalled in the factory "buckets" and leads re-tinned. But they're here if you want them. Also have a pair of the 8ohm dash speakers, think they are 2.5 inch.

Today, after final confirmation the A/C clutch is toast, the stereo settings were tested. Neither RR door speakers work. I forgot to check the dash speaker. I'll try one more thing. I'll remove the bluetooth and microphone adapter. I want to be sure it's not interfering with speaker out put. All the speakers did work when I bought it.

Once the A/C is running, a run to San Antonio is less than an hour drive. Well, depends on which day and time. Construction on I35 and outer loop are notoriously bad.
