Yesterday, I took off the drivers side door panel to replace the window/door locks switch. I got one from Amazon that seemed to have really good reviews for only $25 (see link below), which is kind of crazy, so figured it couldn't hurt to give it a try. The reason was that the passenger front window was not responding to the button from the driver side, but was fine on the passenger side, so I figured it was a switch issue. A rare time when I was right, as this fixed the issue which made me quite happy. I figured while I had the door panel off, I might as well replace the speakers, which have to be very very shallow to fit in that space, so I did (see link below for the speakers I bought). I had to do a little modification to the speakers to get them to fit, but nothing major. Doing both door panels and speakers and the switch probably took no more than an hour of my time. Everything worked great and sounded great. Then I took a test drive to the hardware store and tested out the speakers and noticed the one on the driver side didn't sound right. Kind of tinny and weak. I opened the door and it sounded fine, which explained why I hadn't noticed it when I tested it out in my garage. The one on the passenger side sounds totally fine with the door shut, so it's only on the driver side. Gonna go back in today and see if I can figure out what might be going on. Doesn't seem like closing the door would pinch any wires or anything, so really no clue why closing the door is causing that. Anyone have any theories or things I should check?
