There is a pair of wires that runs from the back of the stereo/amplifier to the speaker. One of these will be disconnected in some way. Broken wire, broken solder joint, broken connector. Or, the speaker could have shat itself. The voice coil inside is made up of really fine wire and will die under too much power input, or from age, or from getting wet, etc etc.

if the speaker is still going just a lot quieter than the other side, has it got to be the wire?

Could be. Could be that you accidentally adjusted the balance to the left. Could be that the amplifier module has shat itself.

Could be a rat died in the door, and its carcass is pressed up against the back of the speaker cone stopping it from moving as much.

Any way i can test the amp module?

When I say "amp module", I mean an integrated circuit on a circuit board either in your head unit or in a separate amplifier. I have no idea what sort of car, or what sort of stereo is in it. Doesn't really matter, there is little that you could do to test such a thing.

At this point, you should do what you should have done from the start. Take the door apart and have a look. Consider swapping the speakers from left to right to see whether the problem stays put or follows the speaker. It might even just go away if it was a loose connection.

Failing that, get someone who know about wires to have a physical look at it, in person.

thank you

That last bit of advice from GTSBoy is solid. It's a lot easier to work with your doors than it will be to take apart your dash and then the stereo. Swap the speakers around. If the problem follows the speaker, bad speaker. That would be the most likely place to start, especially if you like to crank that very average sound system (in my opinion) that these cars have.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
