2008 Silverado Radio/Speakers issue
#212
Apparently there's a few causes to the issue.
1. Speaker burnout, of and by itself. Hardly surprising, if you have looked at the iffy quality of your average OEM speaker.
2. Speaker connections, and wiring, at the speaker end/
3. OEM 12 decibel/octave crossovers, both cheap, and relatively weak, can cause a cascade speaker failure,
especially if the stereo unit is turned up loud, for long periods of time.
4. A faulty dataport adapter, which will also effect your seat-belt chime.
Note: This issue didn't appear, till after GM removed the Radio port from the ignition switch, circa 2002, and switched to the dataport adapter, which they use, now.

Seriously?!?
Have you had the vehicle inspected for this issue?

Isn't the point of asking about this on the forums to avoid having to spend hundreds of dollars just to have them tell us that the speakers are crap? I've been having this issue with my '07 LT for as long as I've had it. I get that maintenance is necessary with all vehicles, but if the factory speakers are bad they should be recalled. They did with the air bag systems. If it's the manufacturer that puts in low quality and defective parts, should fixing the issue fall on the consumer? Should we have to pay several hundred dollars to fix something that shouldnt have made it to production vehicles? I believe the answer is no. And it would behoove Chevy to step up and fix this issue with a recall.
