Driver side speaker goes out when I go over bumps. Now won’t come back on. Ideas?

I have Boston acoustics.... still not the greatest, but slightly better than the GM speakers....u think it could be the amp?

it could be so many things it's impossible to speculate.

Your going to have to investigate it. Most likely not the amp if all the other speakers work. Take the door panel off and see if the speaker wire is loose or the speaker is blown. If it’s blown i have a set or Boston’s i can sell you cheap.

Most probably blown off and got the last beating from the bumps.

If you are lucky, it may be a wiring problem. Why not try to replace front speakers with each other to diagnose the problem?

In which case, take it to a stereo shop and let them do the work.

Too broke also. Lol. I know how to swap the speakers. It’s more of finding the time.
