Hi guys

I have been wanting to install speakers in the rear doors on my Citroën C3.

I tried disassembling the rear door cover, and found that the wiring is already there.

I then took out one of the front speaker and mounted in the rear for a test, but nothing happened. The radio in the car (an aftermarket radio) support the rear speaker, but there is no sound coming through.

What am I doing wrong?

Best regards!

Was the radio faded to the rear?

Then I would check the new stereo is connected correctly

and then while the head unit is out check that there is continuity from the radio plug all the way to the door speaker connector.

Just because there are wires in the door, it doesn't mean they are all the way to the radio, unlikely but possible.

What is more likely is that the radio isn't fully connected or not set to 'rear' speakers (because there were none when it was installed).
