To have the problem in all 3 cars is pretty weird. You have to work back from the problem I am thinking.
1. When stereo is on, put your FADER to the back speakers (if you have a fader) Can you hear anything? Buzzing? next is to take grill off the speakers if you can and put your finger gently on the speaker. Any vibration?
2. Climb in the trunk and have a look at the wiring connections. Sometimes with factory speakers the connections for the speakers slip off with time. Check that both connectors are plugged firmly into the speakers.]
I hope we can solve this.
