Unhappy Front Speaker Problems

My front stereo speakers sound like they are either busted or overdriven...what's up with that?, is it a common problem?
2005 F150 Ext. Cab Lariat
Please help with recommendations.
Thanks,

Did you buy it new or used?

Not near enough info.

What do you have the bass, treble and volume at?


Remember this even if it's audiophile it's still a factory system and if you have the bass or treble cranked all the way up and the volume over 75% the speakers won't take it very long...........


Sounds like a good excuse for a upgrade............

"Sounds like a good excuse for a upgrade............"

This is probably what I was waiting to hear....

I am the original owner....I keep the treble and bass about mid-way...I keep the volume at about < 50%...it automatically increases in volume as the speed increases....

My point is that I use the system moderately but the front speakers, both of them, rattle to the extent that I keep the system primarily to the rear...

I was just wondering if this was a typical area where an inferior product was installed knowing that a person could by replacements at will...

Thanks for your replies.

I changed my stock front and rear speakers with Jensons. There are better, but the Jensons had built in tweeters, and the price was good. With the stock head unit still in place, the sound quality was much better.

Again, there are better options; your wallet is your guide.

the stock speakers arent bad at all. ive had them cranked all the way up and no problems. i just recently switched all of them out with infinity reference speakers and it sounds even better.
