Cheers.

Someone who had the car might have made a right bodge job of the wiring when cutting the original stereo connector off and wiring in the new connector which allows most cd players to plug in. Make sure that all the power cables and speaker cables are connected up correctly (Assuming you have not hard wired you cd player to your car). Look in the Articles part, there is something about what colour wire are what when doing the wiring for the cd player. That will help when wiring the connector in. Also, if you think the wiring is all correct, try swapping the working speakers around with the not working ones.
