Strange. I was heading in to work tonight. As I was doing so, I hit a little dip in the road and the bass came back to that speaker-momentarily. Seems to be a connector issue. While I'm changing my brakes/rotors this weekend, I might as well take the door panel off and have a little look see.
Really too bad there is no simple way to replace the stock "sub".

to put an aftermarket door sub in you would have to sound deaden the **** out of the door, build a mounting plate, add an amp, wiring, etc
its kind of a slipery slope because at that point you might as well do the entire stereo

Ah I see. I might as well just get a JL stealth box and save the hassle. Thank you.

Finally got the door off. The connection is fine, but the sub only works if I push on it 
So yeah, I need a new one. Anyone know where cause I sure as hell can't find one.

The only problem is it might be a several weeks before I tackle it because I am taking everything out (seats, carpet, etc.) and installing sound and heat insulation and I will need to take some time off work to do it.
If you can't find one before then I can help you out. Randy
OH yes, mine is a 2010.

Thanks Randy. However, I just found a place like 10 minutes ago. But if someone in the future will need one and can't fine a place, go to www.corvetterecycling.com. It only cost me 32$ shipped
