I wonder if the problem is something simple? Did the fitter disturb the dash... he might have knocked the wire on the back of the stereo?

I'd run another wire from the stereo to the speaker without running it through the trim, if it works then the wire in the trim is at fault.
Could the fault be the stereo settings for the speaker control, knocked?

Sounds like the insulation on that speaker cable has been snagged by trim refitting somewhere along the line.. most probably earthed out to the body now. Try disconnecting the ISO block connector and systematically testing power output on each speaker channel with a test speaker there. Bet ya all 4 are working spot on that end. You'll compromise the sound if you use the other rear speaker to tap into though...dedicated channels should have dedicated signal sources!

all sorted now it was the white block on the iso connector
so if you have changed your head unit then please check you dont bend a prong
