Default Passenger side sub distorted

Started about a month ago, and it seems to get worse. Is there a separate amp mounted to the speaker itself? I am seeing conflicting docs I cant tell if the subs have their own amp or if they are run from the main amp. Just looking to get this running again until I can put something nice in.

Year of Car, what system are you running Stock, modded, Bose need some more info? The stock speakers in the doors do not have a separate amp they use the one system amp mounted in the passenger foot well, I believe this is the same for the Bose system.

Sorry its a 07 Z06 with stock radio and 2LZ package Bose speakers. In looking at the AllData wiring diagram for the speakers, it appears that the door speakers have a +12V, gnd, and amplifier enable input as well as a sub + and sub- output. This would indiacate there is a amp on the speaker itself.

I have the stock (non Bose) system in my 08 and when I removed them there was no amp on the speakers themself, just the amp in the footwell not sure if this is the same for the Bose setup.

You need the 10" self powered/amped bose door subwoofer. Post a WTB thread here and in the C6 parts section and you'll probably get one for the cost of shipping if you can wait it out

Edit - make sure it's the sub. Turn the bass/trebel **** all the way in both directions and make sure it isn't the twiddler that blew.
