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.
Are you located in Florida and if so where. I have a pair of front speakers that came out of my doors. I have a base Crossfire. If they will work and your close by you can have my factory ones.
