2009 TL Speakers keep blowing out?

I've brought in my TL a few times because the factory speakers keep blowing out. Does anyone have a fix for this?

I listen to house/techno but don't really bump the bass that much. It seems that the TL speaker system could take this abuse. I mean, come on Acura, I've had to bring this into the dealership several times. THis time I'm stuck with the $100 because Acura went cheap on the stock speakers on a high end vehicle.

Anyone else have this issue?

My N---! God I've missed you. Where you been eazy (), this place ain't the same without you.

That happened often in my 09', I use to frequently listen to music off my iPhone via USB; music quality was crap. After that happened a few times my dealer suggested ripping the music on the HDD via cd's and two things happened:

1) I stopped blowing speakers
2) the music quality was much better

Don't quote me on this but I remember the service advisor saying something along the lines of it smoothing out the audio to optimal settings.

Absolutely correct.

Good quality audio won't harm speakers, it is audio distortions when played at high volume that overheat the voice coils and kill the speakers.

When I play music on the aux it sounds louder, but sound quality and bass sound horrible compared to CDs / FM

Panasonic audio is sub par at best. If your cranking the system the coils on the speakers will blow eventually even if you replace them.

I'm looking right now at replacing my stock door speakers with JL or Kickers and they cost a bit more then the Panasonic ones but sound way better.
