You can test the speakers with a 9v or 12v battery with two wires attached. Remove the speaker wires from the amplifier or the radio one speaker at a time. On your car 4 speakers work from the amp and 2 from the radio.

Take the speaker leads and touch them with the wires from the battery. If the speaker is good you should hear a popping sound from it.

Attached shows which wires go to which speakers.
