Must be a common problem, mine was doing that when I bought it, and I never noticed that the lower speakers weren't working, because the top ones were fine. I was trying to cut down some weight, so I swapped the rear amp to the front, and pulled the rear shelf out alltogether, and just run with the front speakers now, although the fronts don't have nearly the amount of bass as the rear ones did, but I have my exhaust to listen to most of the time, and I actually have started preferring to hear it over the radio...........
