Sound system upgrades/replacement?

Post by Cobey »

Anyone ever have work done on the sound systems in your car? One of my speakers (Driver side, front as far as I can tell) has developed an incredibly annoying rattle, so I'm pretty sure at least one of the speakers is on its way out. Does anyone have any recommendations for shops that do this kind of work? I know Best Buy did work like this at one time, but I also heard less than stellar things about their work, so I'm hesitant

I bought new speakers at BB and installed them myself.

Yeah, that's an option too. I'm relatively confident that I could fight my way through it, but I'm pondering an upgrade in the whole system vs just replacing whatever piece is malfunctioning.

Mine is a 2003 Jeep Liberty with rust holes in the rocker panels.

So, yeah... I just fixed the buzzing speaker problem without sinking a bunch of money into it.

I'm at the point where I havent even 100% ruled out an empty red bull can rattling against the back speaker or something tbh
