Car audio hookups?
Why does this happen to happen to ME!!!
My front 5" focal appears to be blown. My rear Lightning Audio tweeter is making fuzzy noises, ditto with the rear 5" (ish) midrange. All on the right side. The back ones stopped making nose i think, but sometimes cut out. But when I turned all the speakers to the right side, i could hear how distorted the front 5" speaker was. It just sounds flat and rattley. RIP front right 5" and rear tweeters + midranges
Now, time for new speakers, i guess. The only thing left that's any good is my front Focal tweeters. Everything else seems to be tired and need of replacement. Now, no 6x9s, only round speakers, around 5-5 1/2" or so. Focal, ////Alpine, boston aucoustics, MB Quarts, something GOOD sounding, and i would prefer one brand name only to improve the sound quality; NO SONY XPLOD ****

Any help with me appreciated.
Thanks

lol yea thats what every 16 year old kid needs
you could look into some pioneer premier reference series 6.5's, i have some and they are the best speakers i have ever heard in any car. they are expensive and hard to find but you seem to want good sounding stuff so i am guessing you are willing to spend lots of cash.

Thanks for the comments 
The focal SEEMS blown cause it just sounds like slamming the door on a 77 Caprice with 870,000,000 miles on it when it goes high volume. The driver's side one sounds fine. This one sounds terrible. What else could it be?

haha just kiddin bro
check ur wiring .. could be a lose / bad ground
take ur speaker and push on it with ur finger ... if its bouncy and doesnt make a noise when u push it in its fine ... if it makes a harsh rubbing noise and doesnt bounce back then the spider is blown
