Looks like they might not be in there.

From the technical sheet at : http://www.newcaprice.com/files/2014_Ca ... _Guide.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Chevrolet MyLink6 radio, AM/FM stereo with CD player and MP3 Playback, includes 8" diagonal color touch screen display, Bluetooth7
for phone and music, personal cell phone connectivity to vehicle audio system, voice recognition, music navigator, streaming audio and
outside Temperature Display. Radio audio is provided by front door speakers and two pillar-mounted tweeters. Rear speakers are not
available.


The wiring though it could be in there. They were all over the board it seems in this area. Putting speakers behind door panels that did not have grilles, taking out rear channels on the radio but still wiring for speakers. Just a mish mash. Going to have to remove the panel and see what you see.

Went out and checked, they are in there and hooked up. You can here them when you fade to the rear. Just no speaker grills.
Ha!

2011-2012 door panels have speaker grill built in. They are 500+ from GM. ( damn bandits ), or you can do like I did. I took the door panel off and put after market speakers in but moved them down to the lower area of the door and used the speaker grills that came with them. It does look a bit 80's but was my only choice as the Caprice is not used in my area at all so finding a salvage yard door panel is not going to happen. :(

I found a place that sells just grills. You cut a hole where the speaker is. Screw a ring into the panel then snap the grill in place.

And remember the 11-12 panels are a diffrent style than 13 -16. Would have to source a set from AU to get any type of factory speaker grille:

Oh nice. Definitely post some pics up of that process. Many would like to see that.

I had the same issue on my '13. Ended up finding a clean set of '11 rear door panel which matched the '13 interior. The '14 is a little tougher. Perhaps try and find an aftermarket speaker grill and be installed in the '14 panel.

Headed out camping for the long weekend, but it will be my first "mod" on this car.
I will keep you all posted.
I just laughed when I could hear the speakers through the door. Oh GM I love ya...
