Question Rear Speakers 95% NO SOUND

Greetings again!
This time I'm here with a simpler problem. When I purchased the car I replaced all 8 speakers, and the head unit. All speakers worked at first but then someone hit my car on the rear left, and tore into the steel and water got inside past the vapor barrier a bit, it hasn't been much but it was enough to make it stop i guess. I then took the doors apart, removed the wires, and dried it up and then everything worked again, just to stop again eventually shortly after.

This week i replaced the rear speakers to match the fronts and and I still have no sound. There is very faint bass coming from both rear larger speakers, but nothing at all substantial and it doesn't sound great. My speakers are wired to the correct wires I believe, (black/slate or black/white was negative and the colorful one whether pink or green was postive). Now I'm trying to figure out is there a fuse or relay or grouping or something in between the headunit and the rear speakers? Did I short out my headunits "rear speaker outputs" or is that even possible without killing the whole radio. Also yes I tried with fader, fade completely back goes near silent, which is also why I am confused that they're getting some signal or something.

I also know I have a bad relay inside the floorboard somewhere regarding the carnival lights that can happen when you open the rear right or sometimes other doors, which I haven't fixed yet because I'm not sure what relay or how to fix that one just throwing it out there incase it's related. Any help is appreciated!!! Thank you

NVM solved! I have a nice high power sony headunit that pairs to an app & on the app a couple settings are not listed, they're only available through the head unit, check and found RBE Enhance set to 1, which it needed to be on 0!


Now I'm just trying to either get a 6x9 slim sub for that back deck or maybe a slim 8", plus a tiny amp for power. Any recommendations would still be nice
