Default Re: OEM Speakers

I'm not a stereo guy (or electrical for that matter), so maybe it's best if I explain what they're like. Maybe these are repairable, or maybe they can point to a bigger problem. Bare with me here:

With the rear speaker, the foam around speaker (diaphram?) has completely deteriorated. Maybe it was the (Florida) heat that did this? Not sure why it did that though. On certain bass frequencies it essentially sounds like... farting. Not sure how else to describe that one.

With the front speaker, it basically sounds like if you put a bunch of rocks in a paper cup and started rattling it around. However, it has not deteriorated like the rear speaker and I could not really see anything physically wrong with it. This one makes the noise much more frequently than the rear one. I was thinking maybe something was loose, but it was as snug as could be in the door.

The rear speakers started to go early this year, and the front one went a few weeks ago.
