Similar problem with factory stereo in the first Contour I had. Gonna get an aftermarket HU anyway so I didn't care much. At any rate, the factory unit was going belly up, the speakers were fine. The new JVC HU made a world of difference! Later I got a new set of 6x8 Kenwood co-ax & the sound quality has become astounding. Have a similar setup in both my Contiques.
