Ill try to be of a little assistance here, but a little more information would be helpful. Ill assume your running an aftermarket head unit for starters. If your left side speakers still work and so does your head unit then your radio fuse is not blown. I would check all your connctions to see if any are loose or even disconected, thats a place to start. Also if you can list what components your using and how you have them wired up (ie amplifiers to head unit, etc) it will be alot easier to pinpoint your issue.

You have a sub woofer with no sub? Speakers don't use any power, they don't have fuses. If the head units is powered you're good there. It's probably a wiring issue, make sure you have good connections everywhere.

Ok yeah with no amp there isnt any real complicated problem. If your head unit has power you just need to check all your connections.

Also if you want to ensure your speaker isnt blown you can always test it with a AA battery and some spare wire. hook up the + and - sides of the speaker to the wire and then hold one of the opposite sides to the + on the battery and rub the free end on the -, if you get static the speaker is still good.

Your probably running too low impedance off your head unit. Simple fix. Wire it up correctly

for starters, unhook the sub from the head unit. head units are not designed to run a sub.

If you have the subwoofer wired directly to the head unit the head unit will go into protect mode. Disconnect the subwoofer and see if that fixes the problem.

pop off your door panel and test the speaker like flightmaster said. if anything you have a blown speaker.

give more information about the sub setup.
