If power is ok, then I`d be suspicious of a short circuit speaker putting the audio stage into protection mode.

Do you get any feint noises at VERY low volume? May need to leave off for a while and switch on at low volume to try that one.

Does that dissappear when the volume is increased?

OK, now I`m even more suspicious of a short circuit speaker.

Next test is a little more complicated, and involves disconnecting each speaker in turn and see if your sound comes back with the remining three connected.

I`m not aware of any easy way to do this, as we have a special test jig to plug into the car to do this for us, otherwise it would be all door cards off.
