If it's still a stock system, you only have two small speakers just behind the card board kick pannels ahead of each door. The originals are not high quality and could be bad. A couple screws give you access, find the speaker wires and hook up a known working speaker to begin the troubleshooting.

Tune in a radio station maybe? Just messin with ya!

Not much detail to go on here. If you give us more details we can probably help.

Does it light up?

Hear any hissing at all?

Does it have or does the cassette work?

Checked fuses?
