Having issues with two of four door speakers.. These are BRAND NEW, and I swapped around to make sure actual speakers are all good... So the location is some part I'd the issue...

Looks like this issue is affecting my LF speaker AND my RR speaker...

They sound cruddy and when my window down/up buttons are used, they cut completely out!!

Here is a video to to see/hear what's going

TIA for any ideas or fixes!

Not much in there except wiring from the speaker back to the head unit. No local grounds or anything. Is it an OEM head unit? Not that it makes any difference except there may be another level of connector that could go flaky. Do you have a meter and know how to use it to check continuity? LF uses Tan and Grey, RR uses Light Blue and Dark Blue. replace the speaker with a jumper wire, and with the power off and the connector removed from the head unit, measure resistance between those two pairs of wires at the head unit.

Aftermarket HU... When I put it in 3 yrs ago all was well... Wasn't until late last year I noticed the issue... Put new speakers I. And problem exsists...

I unfortunately do not have or know how to use a meter...

You have bose or no? (UQA code inside the glove box door is bose)
Pull the radio out and check all your connections.
Only affects those 2 speakers?
Did you use and adapter to put the new radio in? If so, while it's out - unplug it and plug the stock radio in to see if that cures it (if ya still have it).
If non bose - hook a speaker up at the radio - if it plays ok there, you know it's in the wiring to the door.
