in my 99 and my 02, the passenger side did the same cracking sound, almost sounded like the speaker was blown. Do yourself a favor, get an aftermarket system.

In the door, there are two speakers. One is powered by the HU, the other is powered by its own amp in the door. There was proably nothing wrong with your original HU. It is likely the Bose amp in the door.

:yesnod: In the door speaker pod, there is a 3.5" speaker powered by the HU. Behind that 3.5" speaker is a small amp that provides power to the larger 7" woofer in the door.

ok. unrelated question, is it possible to tie into the HU powered speakers to add a pair of tweeters to my A pilars? it bugs me not having some there..:)
