Stock set up in my VX. Blew rear passenger two weeks ago, then front driver. It seems that these things have life span and mine just ran out.

The stock speakers have a foam surround that goes bad and rots away. When that happens, the cone has no support and the voicecoil shorts out against the magnet and they sound like crap. Mine were like that when I bought my VX.

I agree to the above, and add my 2 cents.

Low power driven loud will blow speakers much easier than a higher powered amplifier. Its distortion that really kills speakers.

When signal clips you can get pure DC as output. That can fry voice coils.
