Rear side panel speaker in 97 Firebird with Monsoon started to rattle/vibrate like it might be a blown speaker. These are dual voice coil woofers that apparently receive bass only?? frequency. When I disconnect it however, I notice lesser amount but still distortion on the other left side speaker. So it seems it might not be a speaker problem? With both woofers disconnected, the system works fine--but of course without the bass. What do you experts suspect--a "bad channel" for bass?? Is this a problem in the head unit or does the bass signal come from monsoon amp?? I notice from searches on the site that the monsoon seems to be "problematic." I have little knowledge of this but would like to find a simple solution. Thanks for any suggestions folks

could be a blown speaker, could be a blown channel in the OEM amp......

you'll have to test it a little further......

You don't have a bass boost engaged, do you?
Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.
