hey guys i have a question regards to my factory speaker: what are the various symptoms of a blown speaker(s)? At times, I can hear distorted sounds when listening to the radio at certain times.. Thanks guys..

 

Put a CD in and turn the radio up and if you here any distortion than the speakers are blown. If you have the Bose system than you should be able to turn in up all the way and hear no distortion. Our cars have a problem with the headunit most people just get after market headunits.

 

is blown factory speaker a common problem?

 

Not that i know of. Just the radio.
Is it the Bose system..

 

yup. I have 06 sedan w/ premium package.. There are times when i use my oem bluetooth, i can hear the distortions as well..

 

If you have an 06 and don't wanna upgrade your speakers or headunit then it shoul still be under warranty.

 

i see. So how do i determine the source of this problem: headunit vs. speakers.

 

untill I decide to spend 1000+ on the DD conversion, DD head unit, and iTouch then I would just be happy if my left front and left rear channels didn't 'short' out when I brake/accelerate. So annoying. That and of course not being able to turn it up to 32. (122,000 miles, out of warranty I believe)
