I would just take it in, but you could test it out more by playing with the balance left to right and confirm the loss of sound is just in the door speaker and not the tweeter or rear speaker too.
A person out of warranty would pull off the door card and check the connection at the speaker to see if it simply wiggled loose, as if it wasn't fully clicked/seated in. If there is no change then a multimeter could be used to confirm that there is no power running to the speaker. If there is then swapping door speakers would confirm whether the speaker has a manufacture malfunction/failure. If there is no power then it would be necessary to trace the wires back to the source to also check ground connections for anything loose, cut or that's being improperly grounded then continuing to the headunit.

Isn’t it just happening to the driver’s side? Wouldn’t that eliminate the amp as a possibility unless the connector was angled weird or some single wire was damaged on the connector?

Each side plugs into it's own spot so very easy for one side to be unplugged and the other fine. It is just the first thing to check before digging into doors and HUs. It is literally a 30 second task.

Is that new on the 2017+ or 2020+ cars? The right plug is a power/ground (pretty sure), and the left plug is in and out.

We don't even know if it is one or both door speakers. If both then even if together it could be the plug. Not sure why there is so much resistance to doing this very simple first check on here.

I just went off his first post, which said his driver's side door speaker wasn't working. I thought you had read something I missed. It is definitely worth a check.

He has only said he checked the driver door but from his description and total lack of bass I would guess that both woofers are out.

Hi all. Thank you so much for your feedback.
Let me answer some questions:
In the mean time...I love driving the car and just await getting good "vibes" from it at the same time. 450 miles and counting! Doug |

It is unlikely the speakers are bad. Two speakers failing at the same time without warning is odd and the circuitry in a speaker is very basic. @etherdude were the door speakers ever working? The speakers are really simple with a wire going in and one going out, which can be bench tested, as you can see: The 2020 headunits might have an internal problem, but it seems more likely that it would be a harness issue because they probably just made an adapter (if it was even needed) to make the 2020 headunit work with older harnesses.
