Outside mounted speakers

just took first trip with new 179.  When I used the outside speakers one was very static (like its blown) and the other doesn't work.  I had radio set on a clear channel and balance set to 50/50.  Any suggestions?  I know it's under warranty but if its a simple fix I'll do it myself.  I also know they aren't the best quality speakers however they should still work.  Additionally has anyone installed different better quality outdoor speakers and if so I would appreciate additional info.

I replaced my outside speakers with some different ones. I used the stock enclosures. My speakers were working so if you want my old ones send me a PM with your address and you can have them for postage. You do have to cut the sealant loose around the enclosures to get them off.

Ok. Thanks. I'll check it out tomorrow morning.

Originally posted by Sleepless MY interior speakers sounded terrible until I pulled their covers and noted that the spade connectors at the speaker terminals were very loose fitting.  I crimped all 4 and there was a 100% improvement in the sound.

That makes a lot of sense, as when the volume goes up the vibration of the speaker would effect the connection. My speakers are terrible past about 30% VOLUME. 

Got any part number or manufacture of the speakers, or pics? i was wondering what kind they were i was thinking of replacing them as well before i even turned the radio on lol i would like to add at least some 6.5s outside.
