2009 R3 driver's side Bose door speaker isn't working.

I recently had my dash pulled by a shop to replace the evaporator. They didn't hook some stuff back up right. Like my AC controls weren't working. My AUX and SAT buttons weren't working, driver's front door speaker wasn't working either. I wound up taking it back and they got those buttons working after about a week. They didn't know what the **** they were doing. They said they were waiting on wiring schematics. Eventually I get the car back and everything seemed to be working fine. Well a few days ago I notice that the door speaker isn't working as I could tell there was more sound and bass coming from the passenger side of the car. I'm pretty sure it was working when I went to pick the car up, but I'm not 100% sure as I was just happy to get my car away from that ******* shop.

So I figure I can just fix it myself. I assumed maybe a connection was loose. I took the panel off and it seemed to be plugged in good. I read alot about door amplifiers going bad, but it just seems like quite a coincidence it would go "bad" after the shop messed with it.

EDIT: I swapped the driver and passenger side speakers to verify if the speaker was messed up. The speaker works on the passenger side so that tells me it's some bad wiring from the shop. I don't really know what to do now. I haven't pulled the radio unit out yet, isn't that just some plugs that go right in? Does anyone know what wire/plug I should be looking at for the drivers side door speaker? I really don't know much about car audio wiring, I've never had to deal with an issue like this before.
