Default Second Time ISSUE : Driver Side BOSE Speaker

Hey all,

My drivers side front speaker frizzles in and out constantly. I thought it was a bad connection, brought it to a chevy/caddy dealer to have it repaired under warranty...

They said it was a bad speaker, and had to order a new one. They replaced the speaker and it was fine for a couple months. Now, the same thing is happening again.

Honestly, i've done my own fair share of car stereo work and I honestly think it's a grounding issue. Also, it doesn't seem when they put the door panel back on that it is completely snapped on.

I've tried to push in on so it is tight but it is stuck and i'm not about to rip the door panel off (yet)

My questions are :

1. Has this issue happened to you?
2. If so what was your resolution?
3. Do you think that since the door panel isn't completely tight that this could cause a grounding issue with the speaker?


I say the grounding thing because whenever I push on a certain part of the door the speaker works fine....

Opinions please!

Same experience here, my solution...... yank all the Bose out and rebuild. Now, no more drama.

That would be a fantastic solution considering this is the SECOND time..

Unfortunately I can't afford that, but if you'd like to donate, I would be more then glad to install it with a write up!!!
