Default All my speakers don't work. Help

I bought my Z/28 in Feb. It was bone stock! From the day I got it, some of the speakers don't work. I think only one plays sound. What should I look at to fix this? Head unit maybe? I was going to look at it this weekend. Any help or tips would be great. Thanks guys!

Before you go spending money on 9 speakers. do this.
If the one speaker you KNOW is working is the Passenger side door speaker, swap that working one to the drivers side. If it still works there, then all of your speakers are blown. If it DOES NOT work there, then its obv something different. Best way to isolate IMO

Pretty typical of the stock speakers in any F-body. I would check to make sure that they are blown which is most likely the case. If they are I have replacement packages that can solve your problem all at once.

If your speakers are not blown, maybe check the factory amp in the right rear area, by the spare tire, I know all speakers have to go through this unit, is so i have an extra unit if you find yours to be bad.

If your speakers are bad, just make sure you replace the sail panel speakers with subs. do not put full range speakers there. I believe kee has cdt and bazooka, but you also have jl, kicker, elemental designs.

Well, I was looking at the stock stereo speakers today. I was messing with the monsoon amp thing. Pushed on the wire harness and it snaped into the clip. Now all the speakers work! It was just not pushed in all the way.

Still going to replace the speakers with a deal from KeeAudio. I might even add a sub.
If I do that, I'm looking to hit a 145 plus. I know it's not easy with one sub. But I'll see what I can do. My old car hit 150's at ever comp. But that was 2 12's and a monster amp. Autoteck mx5000!
