Question Radio pulsating

>.< so today my drivers side speaker started pulsating really really badly, it would sound like static and be clear the next second, but every time it sounded like static it would pulsate so bad that my leg could feel the vibration without touching the speaker shroud while driving. I know that our cars communicate a lot to us but this is ridiculous. Does anyone know of a radio repair shop in the martinsville/danville area, this issue with the speakers ruins an almost pristine driving experience. If my speaker is junk I'd like to know what quality speakers can be used to replace the entire stock setup(my cars also equipped with the tweeters). Emphasis on quality (JBL,Audio-Technica,Sennheiser , or AKG any of those brands. as I have some experience with their studio-class headsets, both open and closed back). I don't mind spending a little extra on sound deadening materials either.

Your car is 20 yrs old after all...but removal of the panel is rather easy for you to identify. I'd think a search for Car Audio would bring up a shop if you don't wish to handle this yourself.

As for material, you can get most any higher end equipment from Crutchfield. As a matter of fact, I believe they are in VA?
Here's what I (and King Charles) put in.... https://www.crutchfield.com/p_575R16...te-R165-S.html ...at minimum you have dimensions to work with.

And connectors.... https://www.crutchfield.com/p_120710...Harnesses.html

I presently have a Clarion head unit which will be eliminated just after the first of the year. Probably will go Pioneer or Alpine.

Can't thank you enough, I'll post images of what's going on with the original speaker when I can get the panel off this Thursday(since I'm working tomorrow don't wanna take it off and not be able to put it back on).
Edit: just checked your link again, they offer single day shipping in va. This will make a great weekend project. still looking into JBL/AT alternatives(assuming that I can't find any I'll be sticking to the linked set), considering dynamat for sound deadening but I think there was some kind of foam insulator I could apply to the door cards, don't remember its name though.

This may help with door card removal...
