I hear only treble from one of my door speakers... - Toyota Yaris Forums

Probably blew out the speaker...

The car before my last car (1983 Chevy Celeb), I thought the speakers were dieing on it.. Bought a set of speakers and then went to replace my old speakers.. Popped the cover off the door and to my surprise, the reason the speakers weren't working well was because there were absolutely covered in millions of little shards of rust..

The rust was magnetically attracted to the speaker!! I couldn't even get them off with my hands, best I could do was push it around.. Took a screwdriver and was able to wipe them off with that since they stuck to the screw driver as well!

After that, speakers played fine and they were like 18 years old at the time..

So yea, take the speakers out and visually inspect them.. Any rips on the speaker surface or anything magnetic that can be pulled into the speaker can cause problems with bass..
