help with radio

(my issue is the non-funcitoning drivers side door speakers.)

I just got a 92 325i, the previous owner had the drivers side door panel off and didn't put it back on right.. so today i went out and fixed it.. using the appropriate bit in the screwdriver.. while i had it apart i checked out the connections to the non-functioning door speakers.. all the connections seemed fine, and i checked the connections on the back of the stereo as well, they all seem fine too.. except there is a 2-pin connector that is just kinda hanging back there.. and i could not find any where to plug it into..

any ideas on what is going on?

well, for future reference, I determined it was the stereo itself... I was able to jump a wire from the right front + to the left front + pin (on the back of the stereo) and the speakers started working just fine.

it may not be a perfect fix, but it's better than having no sound over there..
