Your speaker is probably blown as a result of turning up your music/bass too high for those lil stock speakers to handle. Buy some new, decent ones for loud music and that should fix the problem. I would reccommend replacing them all because they all pretty much suck (unless they are the Monsoons... those aren't bad).

Go to Best Buy or Circuit City and they can recommend a good brand for you (you can test them all out usually on the wall of speakers they have) for your pricec range and for the size of the NB speakers, which if I'm n ot mistaken is 6.5" I'm not completely sure about that so you may want to measure them or ask someone. The people at the store should be able to look up all the sizes for every speaker in the car.

I'd look for some Infinity or MB Quartz. I think the Infinity's would be cheaper but both will have great sound.

Just my .02
