Default Left side speakers have no bass

ok I put in a new head unit and speakers all around for awhile it sounded great but then after a few days the bass response on the left side speakers kept comeing and going at random times.

its only in the driver side door and driver side rear speaker bar. what in the world would cause the bass to go away but leave the mids and highs..? Iv never had anything like this happen to me before

Are they component speakers? Meaning they have an external cross over?

If you have all stock speakers, Your having issues with the internal amp in the Head Unit. Try the old deck and see if that works. (if possible)

Found the problem.

Just check the connection on the speaker terminals, before I had components I had the same problem, when I soldered the wires to the speaker terminals I never had the problem again.
