You have found all of the speakers except the two little ones in the
rear deck.  Look from the outside of the car in the back window.  The
GLX only has 8 speakers.  The amplifier is under the rear deck.  Look in
the trunk or drop the rear right seat down and you will see it there. 
By the way (a message to all) the fuse for the damn thing is above the
fuse box about 6".  A real paine to replace. (15 amp) If you turn your
radio on and get stations but no sound, this fuse has blown.  The light
on the head unit should only flash when the car is off.
