2013 G63 AMG speaker problems
Got my G63 back early summer, everything was working perfectly. I installed a new 12inch android display, everything went smooth and that was also working.
Suddenly, I started only hearing audio from the driver side front speaker, other speakers (including subwoofer) would come on/off during the drive.
Now recently, only the front driver speaker is working, the rest haven't played.
Xentry shows no errors or warning for the COMMAND/Audio system.
It would be weird that every speaker beside the front driver side have died at the same time.
Any way to diagnostic this or hints on how to pinpoint the problem? Is there a fuse for the passenger side audio? Is it most likely a blown amplifier channel ? Android display (and stock head unit radio) both play music.
I can not get ahold of a spare amplifier locally to quickly test so i'd rather test everything I can before having to order one
Thanks for any help, much appreciated

There are no separate fuses for the different channels.
When the audio gets cut to only the front driver side speaker, does it stay like that will different music sources? Through Carplay/AA, then radio, then aux in?
Seems like this would be more so an install issue and not a speaker/amplifier issue.

- playing radio from OEM Headunit does this (optic wire is passthrough with the android display, you just swap it to the new connector)
- playing via the android display does this (this uses the AUX cable)
The install was done 2 months ago without any issues up until now so it would perhaps be some wires that are came loose behind the headunit from driving around?

When multiple speakers die at once, especially with the subwoofer, it's rarely the speakers themselves. The amp has multiple channels and one of them can fail, taking out everything but the one working speaker.
Since you just installed an aftermarket Android unit, double-check all its wiring and connections first. A loose wire at the new head unit could cause this. If that's all good, the amp is the most likely culprit.
