are they factory speakers? sometimes if you have a bad speaker it wont let the rest come on. if speaker is grounding out cd player will still be powered up, but no sound.
MA Audio speakers... I had to take out the driver side speaker because it blew... but the rest of the speakers place in ON or Accesories but not started, so I don't think it'd be that?

To the OP, is it only the CD player function/source that proves to be an issue? Or will playing the radio do the same as well?
Radio yields the same results.

No sir, I believe just the Head Units AMP, there are small boxes in the door panels for the speakers, but I don't think they are amps.

I took one speaker out the other day it was making an awful sound and ended up blowing. I will check the Head Unit, it's justw eird it palys when it isn't staretd.
