Hi, I need your guys' advice on what to do here... for the last week i noticed that when i hit the brakes with medium to hard pressure my front speaker starts to break up and scratch but goes back to normal as soon as the brake is let up.  Any ideas?  Thanks

Do you have your wires running over the brake pedal? If so make sure that they are not in the way of the pedal as you brake.

try running new wire to the speaker in place of the stock wiring, you might have a short somewhere

make sure that the speaker itself is not grounding out or the terminals on the speaker is not grounding out.
