Q: What is wrong with my speakers?

asked by on October 29, 2015

The speakers in the doors of my 2007 Chevy Silverado have stopped working one by one. I have about 80,000 miles on the truck and the problem started with one speaker in the driver’s side door but now only one tweeter works intermittently. How do I fix this problem and will new speakers be at risk of breaking if I replace the factory ones?
