Common problem for the XJ's is the door/speaker harness wires pass between the door and the body via a rubber grommet. Over time, as the door continously opens and closes the poor little wires eventually just snap and everything goes to hell. Yanked the passenger door card and repaired the wiring. WAHLA! I have sound!
I'm having the same issue, but I can't understand why speaker wires would crack while all the other wires would be fine? From what I can see, I pulled back the cover under the hinge of the door (ribbed rubber gator thing) and from what I could see they looked fine - where yours cracked behind the actual door panels?
It may be something else with mine though. The balance F/R, L/R always seems to be changing so maybe my H/U is taking a dump, or it may just be bad contacts on the back of the speakers. Though the door speakers will do the odd trick of playing when open but not closed (sometimes vice versa) and randomly cutting it when sitting in traffic.
