Is it possible the speakers are being replaced with the same one in case they were damaged by the higher output amp?

I was told that the amp were replaced to match the new speakers which have better surrounds.

Just go aftermarket, the BA isn't worth the trouble.

I just got this "fix" on Friday. DO NOT DO THIS! I can not believe that GM is removing ALL the bass from the front speakers. The new speakers still distort at a volume over 22, only now there is no bass to help mask the terrible sound. Total garbage. Lets hope this isn't the final "fix", otherwise that $$$ spent on this system was wasted. I'll be replacing the replacement parts shortly.

Sorry to hear that. This is exactly what I was afraid they would do. I would complain to the dealer and GM.

sorry for bringing this thread up from the dead but is there any update on this problem? and what about the rear speakers? mine rattle like crazy. will that fix that? also i get a clipping sound when im listening to music threw my ipod sometimes.

I got a higher VIN, so I'm out. I think the BA sounds like crap. Harman Kardon in my wife's Beemer is crystal clear. But, my loud ass pipes rock!!!

I've never heard a stock system in any car that didn't sound like crap maxed out!

I'd bet money they put the newer lesser powered amp in to 'fix' the issue.
