Default New speakers. New Problems.

I know Id be better off asking in a Car Audio forum or something, but it relates to my Mustang, so here goes nothing.

My old speakers were ****...to put it plainly. They were destroyed, damaged, and did not work. When I bought the car there was a cassette player/radio in it. I have not changed that. I installed some new speakers today, and everything works well on my drivers side speaker. (BTW these are rear deck speakers). So my passenger side speaker is not giving out any sound. It just vibrates a little. Is this an issue with the speaker? The speaker cable? Is there a way to figure out what the problem is before I go digging through wires under my dash to locate the speaker wire connection to the radio? Anyone have experience with car audio, or an issue like this? Any feedback is appreciated.

You didn't mention the brand of radio, but if it's a Philco, (the face would say PHILCO or FORD) it might be the original one for that car and it should stay with the car, even if you get a new one. Please don't trade it. It and the car is worth more if it stays with the car.
