Drivers door speaker squeeling and sputtering
So starting yesterday the driver side speaker decided it wants to squeal and sputter. It is so bad that even when turning the radio off the induction noise being pumped into the car causes it to squeal and sputter also. Any one have this problem. Not to thrilled going to the dealer a 2nd time 2 hours away.
take a listen:

Does anyone know where the factory amp is located, the issue was around for a few days then it went away, I want to see if there are any loose connections

well unfortunately I don’t live close to a dealer, it’s a 2 hour drive for me, so for me to get a rental come back, and then pick it up a week later is 8 hours worth of driving and fuel, and I have already been through this once for other problems. On top of that if I get there with no issue happening they aren’t going to do anything except say they couldn’t reproduce the problem. I just don’t get why it’s all of a sudden working with no problems

yea they do but that still doesn’t stop me from having to drive 2 hours there, 2 hours back, then another 2 hours there to pick it back up and 2 hours back, for 8 hours of driving and about $50 of fuel

I don't hear any "squealing" or "sputtering", but I do hear buzzes and rattles that sound like a faulty speaker's voice coil is rubbing against the magnet causing distortion while it is trying to reproduce engine sounds generated by the Active Sound Control system. Kinda sounds like an old VW Beetle with an open exhaust. This doesn't sound like an amplifier or bad connection to me. The RDX's amplifier is located on the floor of the vehicle below the subwoofer.

Initially, I was listening on a telephone headset at work, but just listened again using a pair of high-quality earphones. I can still hear up to 15 kHz in my right ear and 17 kHz in my left ear. I don't hear what you're describing. All I hear is bunch of rattling that sounds like something loose and vibrating then later in the video I hear what sounds like a flat-4 engine with a "fart can muffler" when you accelerate. If these noises are indeed coming from the speaker, my first guess is still with the speaker.
Last month, I inherited a 2016 Ford Fiesta from a relative who died. After several days of driving it, I began to randomly notice a fuzzy/buzzy distortion in the woofer in the driver's door. Sometimes it was perfectly clear and other times it buzzed louder than the music. When it was acting up, the touch screen "bong" also sounded weird. Over the weeks, it got progressively worse until it was doing it constantly. I was convinced I was going to need to replace the audio unit at a cost of hundreds of dollars, but it turned out to be a defective speaker. I tore apart the original speaker and found where the voice coil had been rubbing against the magnet due to a misalignment. Temperature and humidity changes would affect the alignment of the voice coil causing intermittent distortion. You may have a different issue, but thought I'd share anyway.
