99 STS Bose speakers distortion

I have 99 Seville STS with factory installed Bose system. I"ve read posts for 2 days now. I have distortion from the dash speakers. When I fade to the rear only, it sounds good so I just keep it faded to the rear. I contacted Bose and they will sell me the 3 dash speakers for $40 each. I don't mind spending $120 if it fixes it. Before I order them, could the problem be from something else?

1999 - The chances are good to excellent that the cones and surrounds are shot. That's a speaker problem, not an electrical problem.

:yeah: Sounds like bad speakers to me too....Have you looked on eBay? You may be able to find a better deal than that but $40 a piece for new ones doesn't sound too bad actually.

Check if Infinity makes the size you need, they'll match up to the factory Bose amps and will be alot better than the paper cone crap
Not ALL Infinity's will be the correct impedance, but IIRC the Reference series has some low impedance options.
