Are the terminals shorting out on the body work? Check the connection to the stereo and the wiring.

Are you using an amp?

 

[scottmurray2890]

hi no the terminals arent shorting out, ill check the connections behind the h/u and im not using an amp. standard h/u infact.

So the right front speaker distorts but when you fade to the right it sounds ok?

If the wiring is ok and the speaker is ok only thing I can think of is the headunit.

 

[scottmurray2890]

sorry my post read wrong when i fade it to the left the left is ok, its just the right hand side, thanks for your reply mate

Have you checked that the + and - connections are the right way round?

 

[scottmurray2890]

on the speaker? tried them both ways round no difference. wierd thing is its been gradually getting worse as if the speaker was getting worse but checked 2 other speakers on it and its same??

Maybe its the headunit then mate.

 

[scottmurray2890]

ok ill have a look at connections behind it tomorrow and report back , not too arsed if its the hu its getting replaced soon anyway.
cheers mate

took the speaker off again and re-connected it and it seems better now
not perfect but better . must be my connections im going to cut all the spades of and put new ones on see how that goes. fingers crossed!
