Default passenger side speaker doesnt work

If it's a stock system, it's probably a bad wire/connector in the door. Since your tweeter works, the wiring from the HU to the door should be fine.

You need to open up the door and have a look. If you need instructions, look here:

Good luck!

What exactly?

* Is is just aftermarket head unit?

* Do you have aftermarket speakers? If yes, where are the crossovers, in the door?

* Any amps?

Help us help you.....

i don't think the alarm should be installed anywhere near your speaker... the guy that installed it pulled a wire loose somewhere.

No sound at all? this is important. if it is getting a weak signal it is a totally different problem.

No sound?
Remove the mid bass driver to see if the wire is disconnected on the back of the speaker itself. I think that this could easily be the culprit. With no sound at all the speaker wire is disconnected somewhere...

stock speakers or aftermarket?

Does anyone have instructions to opening the passenger door to check the speakers? I'm having the same problem with my passenger side speaker - no sound comes out at all. The tweater is very very faint even at max volume.

Completly stock system (04) - any help would be greatly appreciated.

Please go to the FAQ on the top of the electronics section for instructions and pictures on how to take the door panel off.

If your tweeter is working, means the problem is NOT with the amp connection or the headunit connection. It is one of 2 things (assuming the woofer isnt blown)...

1)One wire fell off/came loose on the woofer.

2)One wire fell off/came loose on the crossover.

Your problem may be differnet from the OPs (his case sounds like a bad wire connection, or maybe a bad xover). First obvious thing for your case, what's the balance set to on the radio? If that's fine, try another speaker (you'll have to figure out a way to connect wires to the stock harness to another speaker to test that though). If could be a bad channel in your case.
