Thumbs up Speakers don't work

So the speakers on the drivers side went out. The right side is fine. Do you think it's the amp or a fuse and where should I look. Thanks in advance for any help.

Driver's side front and rear?? Most likely an amp... No real fuses to check (either it works or it doesn't kinda thing). Have you used the fader/ balance to move the audio around to check the speakers? Has any work been done to the car where a connector could have only been partially plugged in? What audio source are you using? (Cd, radio, cdc, aux)? My audio was action grunt at one point, but I quickly realized that my aux cable was the problem.

Yes I tried the fader but nothing coming out of left side. I guess I will have to replace the amp. Thanks

I still have all the audio components from when I removed the entire stock setup and replaced it with an aftermarket system. When you get sticker shock from the price of new stock audio components, PM me and we can figure out if the part numbers match up. If so, I'll give you a good deal on whatever you need. There is no sense in that stuff collecting dust in my closet.
