Using my meter, the drivers side rear speaker has 12.6V going between the 2 wires.. the passenger side showed 5.9V going between the two wires.. seem normal? I'm not sure, not much of an audio guy. I'm leaning towards a possible amp failure for the rear speaker output?

if speakers AND wireing are good you can try a new amp.
be sure no spk wires are grounded.
