Default Front speaker problem.

Merry Christmas everyone, hope everyone is enjoying being with your family and loved ones. But I need somebody to help me with a dilemma I'm having.

I just recently had my speakers installed, (memphis audio mclass component speakers), and they work great. The other night, I was listening to music and my left speaker just started to go crazy and started to get all staticy, it wouldn't go away (even turning down the music.) Last night, I was on my way home from work and I notice a difference in the sound. I tweaked with the balance and my left speaker sounded a lot different than my right speaker. The speaker doesn't sound blown, because it doesn't shake or vibrate, but the quality of it sounds poor. It sounds like the treble of the speaker is all the way down and the speakers don't quite hit as hard.


I checked all my amp wirings, they're good. I'm afraid of trying to pop open my side panel because I know I'll damage it somehow and I don't want to do that. Could my speaker be damaged or could it be a faulty speaker? I'm kind of at a loss.

Could be a bad speaker..
or what it really sounds like is a bad connection..

in any case I would just take it back to the shop and show them.. they'll probably fix it for free

Thanks for your input. I'm going to take it back on Wednesday and see what he says.

Its only 3 screws to pop the door panel off. You should open it up and take a look. If its a bad connection you can fix it easily instead of waiting till wednesday.

I know that, but I have trouble opening the little thing by the door handle to get to the screw (without out scratching it or screwing it up) and then taking of the handle to get to the other screws.

If you had it installed at a shop, don't modify it yourself or you can void their warranty. Just leave it and be patient. Trust me on this one
