Can you fix what you have? Probably. Lift the mat up on the passenger side - is there water damage to the amp? If there is NOT, you probably have a bad speaker or two and maybe the head is bad. If you see water damage to the amp, I"d just start over with a whole new head and amp - forget the old wiring, water damaged connectors and pins are a waste of time - go to a sound shop and tell them to start over.
Congrats on your new top. So I am having a problem with my right side cutting in and out. The previous owner did swap the head unit. I have looked at the amp and wiring in the passenger side. The connectors and wiring look good. My question is this: how hard is to run new wiring? Are the channels accessible? I have a roadster. How difficult is to run to the back speakers?
