I have the stock radio with CD changer in my 1997 Celica GT and one day a few weeks ago the passengers door speaker stopped working. Then a few days ago the drivers door speaker stopped working too! I checked the balance, the fader and the dashboard tweeters work and the back seat speakers work. Any ideas on what it could other than the radio went bad?

Door speakers stopped working

I didn't know one of the radio options for 1997 models had a CD-changer. I know some had CD-players, but never heard of one with a CD-changer.
Regardless, if you came came with a 6-speaker or 8-speaker system, it has at least one separate amplifier, potentially two. The primary amp is underneath the A/C controls, the secondary amp is under the driver's seat. One of these amplifiers could also be the source of your problem.

I am pretty sure your radio is the one shown in the parts diagram below. As for the CD changer, Toyota EPC doesn't show a deck like that for a 1997 Celica. But I don't think that is the issue. You can either look to see if you can find someone listing the radio deck (86120-2B511) and compare the faceplate number 5-digit number (I can't make it out on the image you provided) to yours to see if it is a match, and consider purchasing it. But I would check your amplifier (or amplifiers if you have two) as to possibly being the cause of the issue first.
