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.

The A/C is up and running. A new compressor did the job. The old compressor clutch was toast. I'll pull out the amp and get a part number. Today, I was using the bluetooth adapter for a phone call. I raised the volume to hear over the A/C blowing air. As soon as I hang up, the XM radio goes full volume. It was loud. Wow, I'm surprised how loud it can be with stock speakers. So far, only the RR door speakers don't work.
