rear speaker troubleshooting
I went to the audio store and the guy i talked to said he owned a 97 blazer like mine and that they had alot of problems with it, he said im better off buyin a pair of nicer speakers for 50 dollars and just having them wire them in and i would hear alot better quality as aposed the the factory speakers, so i think ill go get two sets of speakers for 100 and get it all wired right =)
put new speakers in the rear doors and it worked like a charm however take note, the depth of the plastic pods they sit in are minimal, keep that in mind when purchasing new speakers, i ended up going back to the store and exchanging the ones i bought for proper depth...
when removing the door panel pry up one side, and be very carefull not to break the retaining pins, then make your way around the door prying carefully at the pin locations, also youll need a super small torx to unscrew your speaker from.. i used an allen key as i didnt have one small enough.. also 2 bolts in the arm rest (7/32). When installing the door panel back on i found it easier to unplug and pop out the power window switch and feed the wire through the hole, that way your not fumbling around with the panel trying to plug the switch back in. hope that helps...
Update: So, I said weeks (maybe even more) ago that I would check out why those rear speakers don't work, and heres my conclusion.
I found that it was the speakers that were causing the problem. I don't know why they don't work but they are dead. I hooked em' up to my home stereo to see if I could get any sound and nothin. Haha i was a little bored and I plugged em' up to a wall outlet too, but that was a let down too as they didn't do anything.
So, I guess get new speakers and you'll be good to go.

Same Problem,
My 1998 4x4 4DR Jimmy has never had a working Rear Left speaker, The rear Right cuts in and out a few times a week, The Drivers left works once or twice a week, Other than that nothing but the Front right speaker works, I thought it was the AC Delco Deck having an internal problem, so I installed an aftermarket HU yesterday, and the same problem still occured.
So today I am putting new speakers in, I hope they fit.
Got a pair of JL Audio for the front, and Alpine Type S for the back.
It says they are "Low mounting depth" whatever that means.
