Spoke too soon… rear speakers not working even after bypassing amp…. Speakers themselves work, and are hooked up. However only the door speakers play music

Define "work".

I presume that you have fitted a new head unit and are trying to drive the rear speakers direct from the head unit's speaker outputs? Have you run new speaker wires (even temporarily around the outside of the car) to drive the speakers from the headunit, to prove they work? Are are you just putting a AA battery on the terminals to see the cones move? (Not that the AA battery test is a bad test, just that it's not as convincing as using an actual amplifier to make noise come out of them).

FWIW, I wouldn't use the original wiring that ran from the Nissan stereo to the rear amplifier for speaker level wiring. It's pretty skinny. It only take an hour or so to rip out some seats and run some new speaker wires from the front to the back.

New head unit? Run all new wires, the standard 1988 wires aren't that good, especially now. You only need 2 wires from the factory head unit plug (+12V constant and Ignition).
