Default '97 GS300 Only 2 speakers work - What's the problem?

Hello from across the pond in England

Today I have bought a Gen1 GS300 which is mechanically near perfect but has some minor things that need to be resolved.

First up is something to do with the stereo or amp.

It sounds like both speakers in the right front door work fine, but none of the others do. I turned the balance and fader controls and when in the "all left" or "all rear" positions there was no sound at all.

Is this likely to be a head unit or amp problem?

Thanks Yakshii.

Since posting I've had the amp out and found there has been water in there at some point - Some rust on the outer case lead me to open it up where I found some components on the circuit board has rusted through and were rolling about inside!

Replacement amp already sourced from ebay and on the way to me
