How much are one of those multimeters?

If the line is dead in the trunk, then check the wires coming directly out of the head unit. If that's dead...well, I think you know what that means. If you find that it's showing power, than you know it's somewhere inbetween and it would be best to just run some new wires from the head unit to the trunk.
BTW, they have an adapter for those speaker harnesses in the rear...too late now, I did the same thing on my delta...

Hell, I should just as well start from scratch and put a new stereo in and run some fresh wiring as well. I'm probably gonna have to start a new thread for people like me--stereo installation for idiots!!! Thanks for your help, Brando!!!

Took about an hour for me to do, and that was having to run speaker wire through the doors, so you will have an easier time then me. It won't necessarily sound better, but new wiring > old wiring from 1989.
I didn't even think about that!!! I'll check the same speaker from the left side and see if I get something out of that.
