X indicates possible failure. you can swap RCA's and speaker wires to narrow down culprit before your remove door panel.

Just swap speaker wires at the amp outputs to see if the speaker plays on a different channel that you know is working. If not, follow the wire and look for a pinch somewhere. You may end up having to pull the speaker to check the connections there...but work your way to the speaker from the amp.

yep, this means it's either the amp output, the wire, or the speaker. as mentioned, swap at the amp outputs to verify wire/speaker.
