Really not sure whats going on here.. My rear speakers just don't work. I've tried bypassing the wires, testing the wires from radio to speaker, and jumping the front speaker lines to the rear lines. When I remove the speakers and attach them to another input, they seem to work fine.
My last option is that the radio has no sound on the rear channel. I've never heard of this happening before, but I suppose it's possible. I'm looking for a replacement stock unit that is known to work to test that but have not found anything yet.
sounds like the rear output is toast. I would splice in a set of speakers that you know are good just to be sure (short wires just for testing)--if you have not already done this..
Ok team.. with that said.. Should I get a 1 din or 2 din head? There are so many to choose from.. What I'm really looking for is BlueTooth to my phone for Google Directions, Phone Calls and Pandora. I don't use CD or Cassett (except for old school wire link to my phone). I've been looking at heads that have just BT and Media. thoughts? I'm not much of a music head (really old and hard of hearing) so it's about being able to hear directions and phone..

Double din will take a bit of modification, I have a clarion pop out tough screen in mine and really like it.
OK.. New HU is in .. I went with a China special.. $19 shipped. But Im very happy with it at this point.
JSD-20158 Stereo with Blue Tooth, USB.
So. It turns out that one of the rear speakers still does not work.. and if i connect it (wire it in at the back of the radio) the radio cuts out all sound. Probably what was happening with the OEM unit as well. Looks like I'll be pulling at least 2 new speaker runs.
This new HU sounds great, the hands free BT phone works great, and the microphone seems to be decent quality. I thing for me it will do the trick nicely.
Ok.. finally figured out what the deal is. The speaker itself is shorted out. OEM Rear Oxfords in the headliner.. I've run new wires to all 6 speakers at this point, installed new Apline tweeters ($8) and im looking at a set of 6.5 Kickers (40CS654) for the rear.. ($70).. all the info i've found says that they'll fit with only minor mod, and i can still use the factory grate.

those are the kickers I run front and back, no real modifications needed. you just need to use self tappers to for the new mounting holes, and you cant reuse the original speaker covers but the kicker ones look better IMO
