Broken front left speaker Options

[McPhillips5]

So I recently bought a 1999 Celica GT off of CL in Los angeles. After replacing the oil pump and valve cover gaskets, it runs great. The seats are a little beat up and the trunk rattles, but all in all pretty good.

The only real issue is that the front left speaker does not work. It's all stock from what I can see. Also the button console on that door is really shaky. it looks like someone took it off and didnt know how to put it back on.

any ideas on fixing or replacing the speaker? Pictures of it are on my profile. It looks fine cosmetically. Wiring or dead speaker? Anyone else have an issue like this before?

thanks!

awesome. i checked the guide, it didn't say what type of speaker we an use to replace it.

6.5"
4ohm
wattage? the stock ones are 15, but i doubt those are for sale aftermarket? whats a good wattage to go for?
and it should be a mid range speaker?

Don't worry about the wattage. Just get cheap Sony or Kenwood speakers. Pairs can be had for under $60. While they're not the best sounding speakers out there by a mile, they'll likely sound better than what was in there.

Or, pony up and get a pair of Infinity or Alpine speakers for under $100. They'll sound markedly better, but really need an external amp to reach their potential.
