Need help with Monsoon Stereo Speaker
So let me start off by saying that i have a 1998 Camaro with the stock monsoon system. When i bought the car, the whole driver side sounded like crap. The door speaker is blown. The sail left rear speaker does nothing. Now i know my door speaker is blown since it makes noise. Very low and static like, which I assume is blown. Ive since removed it with no replacement. But the rear sail left, the sub one. That one im unsure about. As for the back ones in the hatch, they are fine since they were just unplugged. Ive plugged them back in but still sounds crappy... but better than nothing on the left side.
So now my problem... This left rear sail speaker. Keep in mind. Im still using the stock speaker. My first thought was its the speaker. Ive tried tried switching it with the right side (which works) and the right side continued to work after swapping. So ive concluded its not the speaker
Ive replaced the Head unit.
I thought it may have been an issue with the stock HU, so i went to Wal-Mart and replaced it with a cheap Dual HU. I know ive wired it correctly. Everything works minus that back seat speaker. And the front door that ive yet to replace.
So i thought maybe its my Amp
Well i bought a new amp and reinstalled. no luck
So my last resort was to rewire the left rear and left front to the amp and rewired the wires going to the sub. STILL nothing. But the back hatch still plays, so i think i rewired the left side okay. Pretty positive everything was rewired correctly.
I did notice on the monsoon faq the wires for that Amp. The F10 and F11, were actually swapped on my plug. Not sure if that made a difference
But yeah... Im starting to run out of ideas here...any help would be appreciated

You already have a new amplifier and head unit so if you contact the owner of Kee Audio about these components he may be able to guide you on how to wire them up or whether or not he can offer you a different speaker package to get the most out of what you have. I can tell you, even with a factory Delco head unit and amplifier, my CDT brand speakers sound like top quality speakers when I can adjust the equalizers for sharp crisp treble and enough bass that won't blow out the speakers I have. It, at times, has sounded like I have a subwoofer in my hatchback, that is how good his package was for me.
