The car: 99 SE Duratec with the factory speakers and CD player.
The problem: driver's front speaker cuts out intermittantly. When it cuts out, it doesn't completely go quiet - it just loses an unquantifiable amount of volume, say around 90ish% or so.
I took the door apart and poked around the speaker but found nothing out of the ordinary. I was expecting to find a loose connection but no amount of poking and prodding could make the speaker cut out repeatably. It seems to have a mind of its own.
Any ideas?
