Hi,
To my knowledge, this head unit (Sony CDXF7000) uses individual 52 watts amplifier (X 4) whose output to the speakers require that none of the speaker wires be grounded or crossed/shorted.
Please check the speaker wiring with the use of an ohmmeter (or a multi tester) with all the speakers temporarily disconnected. Verify that none of the 8 wires reads 0 ohms to body/chassis ground or to any of the other wires.
As you have checked the wires area:
front left > + red & - white/black stripe;
front right> + gray & - gray/black stripe;
rear left > + green & - green/black stripe;
rear right > + purple & - purple/black stripe.
Rewire should it be necessary. If the wiring fully checks out, it may be that you have a fader component failure inside the unit (though honestly rare). You can also check if there is no bridging modifications done; converting your 4 amp-4 speakers original design to a bridged 4X52=2X100watt amp to 4 speakers paralleled to 2.
Another area you can check/try is by varying the DSO settings - 1,2,3,off.
Hope this be of some help/idea. Post back should you need additional information.
Good luck and kind regards.
