It could be the amplifier or the radio, but check before replacing. Each speaker has its own amplifier built-in (if my memory serves me right). Need to check the voice coil resistance on the speaker (should be between 4 ohms to 8 ohms)...depending on the speaker. If speaker is within specifications, need to use a "test speaker" and remove the factory speaker and install the "test speaker." If you still have no sound then you must check the radio output A/C signal for the speakers via Oscilloscope unless you have a "test radio" to do a quick swap for test purpose.
