    Yes, I am a tight bass freak and tend to crank up the volume.:LOL: The front passenger door speaker has succumbed to the heavy usage and I am now looking for options. The car is under warranty (only 6 months since delivery) and I will get the factory JBL speaker replaced. But I want to upgrade to a better performing speaker all around. Anyone else lose a speaker so soon or have replacement recommendations?

    And, please, no lectures on listening to the music at high volume. I know what might be the next thing(s) I blow out. :p

    I noticed my front drivers side speaker not sounding right at times but not always. I honestly think the factory audio system is in need of replacement with some good quality components.

    I have a 4 month old model 2 and my passenger side makes a whole lot of racket. It is especially noticeable when listening to talk radio. While I don't intend to keep the system stock, I will be having it fixed under warranty.
