Default Blown speakers?

I have a 2014 STX that I just picked up in August... It was new. I do not listen to my music loud, but the speaker in the front driver door sounds like it's blown now. The weird part is that it doesn't sound bad right away when I start it. Once the music has been playing for a short period of time it becomes distorted bad. Anyone else experience this?

Similar situation on my 2011 a couple of years ago. I bought new Kicker speakers and put them in. All was good for months but then the same speaker started fuzzing again.
I then bought some new speaker harnesses online, put them on and the problem hasn't come back. (Knock on wood). So maybe it was just a bad connection.
Good luck!

I'm gonna set up an appt at the dealer since it's under warranty, let them deal with it. Just wanted to see if others have had the issue too. Thanks for the response

Yep, that's what you should do. I should have done that but after I switched speakers I thought they would say the problem was my fault because I messed with the system.

Had the same problem with my 2014 Lariat. Pulled into service department and told the service manager I had a speaker problem. He said left front isn't it? He told me they had changed a bunch of speakers. Took my keys and had me back on the road in about 30 minutes.

I had my front right speaker on my 13 fixed 2 weeks after I bought it. It was in and out and covered by the warranty. No issues since and that's been over a year ago.

I have this problem on my 2011. I've experienced it before on rainy days but lately, since it's the dead of winter, its crystal clear for 20 minutes then starts sounding fuzzy. My thought is moisture in the door connector that's causing it to work fine when frozen but screws up the connection when it thaws. Anybody try cutting this connector out and solder/shrink wrapping the wire?
