Blown speakers or bad amp?

try twisting the rcas at the connection. if it is an old install, there may have been some corrosion forming. clean your connections(head unit side and amp side), reinstall and check for results. otherwise, try replacing the rcas.

also, might want to check the integrity of the speaker connections at the amp and at the speakers as well.

edit: at that note, might as well check your amp grounds, remote connection at the amp, battery connection, etc. check all of your physical connections' integrity. start out cheap before you start throwing parts at it

Sorry for the lack of responses! So you confirmed it was the head unit? How did you figure it out? And I figured it was a signal issue but the head unit is usually the least likely option to be bad that's fairly rare hmmmm well I'm glad you fixed your issue! Troubleshooting can be a pain sometimes but there are only so many variables sometimes you just have to check them all!!

I found out by plugging the front speakers into the rear of the deck. When I did that the fronts sounded bad. I also put a new RCA cable on the rears to see if that was it

Easy way is buy a new head unit. I had a nice Blaupunkt that did it to me about 20 years ago, killed me but it was over $200 to figure it out. The radio was worth a good amount but I'd already spent over $100 on it after getting it free 2 years prior so between the 2 numbers I felt it best to walk away..
