I figured I'd pop my head in and let all the old members know that I'm still alive :lol:

I just swapped the front speakers on my 98 Plymouth Breeze since the front driver-side was blown. All was well when I was listening to a CD in Pioneer (?) head unit. But when I plugged my Droid Incredible in via the aux in jack and switched to aux input the driver-side speaker was cracking real bad and I could barely hear the music, yet the passenger-side worked perfectly. It got weirder when I plugged in the car charger into my droid because sound ceased to come out of the driver-side speaker at all yet the passenger-side still worked fine. I noticed that even with the old speakers they would crackle for a second when I plugged in my Incredible but it would be fine after that.

To make sure it wasn't the speaker I swapped speakers and the same thing happened. The driver-side was also the side where my dad had kept the original connection while the other side I had butt-spliced the wires together, so I chopped off the old connection and butt-spliced that side together also, but I got the same result.

I'm at a loss of what to do here, any suggestions?

Could be bad wiring to that side from the aux. input inside the head unit. Both rear speakers sound fine during this testing, or is the driver's side rear doing the same thing?

Its something to do with the aux in jack because I hooked it up to the RCA jacks in the back and it sounds fine.

Could just be the wire from the phone to the hu.
