It is commonly accepted that the original door speakers are the weak link, very poor. The large OEM ones on the rear shelf are not too bad, but the door ones are rubbish.

It's because on most cars, the plastic lining that you find inside the door usually goes behind the speakers as well. In the svx, it does not. So when water drains down through the door, it hits the speaker which is made up of a simple paper cone, and it deteriorates. That is my belief and unless it's proven differently, it will be my stance.
