Speaker or Factory head unit? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Not for the truck, but my dad's 1996 Fleetwood. The speaker in the passenger front door panel sounded like it was going out, made weird noises with any kind of bass, and now it's working but in very short intermittent bursts, it does work for a bit if I smack the door panel. Is it the speaker, a short, or the factory radio? Thanks.

Replace it all, but the speakers go first

look at your door wire loom too, terrible design
often the flexing when opening the door breaks the wires
eventually everything electrical in the door quits working
or works intermittently

Yeah, it had started to "flap" so I think it tore, its almost 20 years old so it doesn't surprise me. Bout to order new speakers for both doors and then look at the door harness.
