I haven't had this issue in the F150, but my previous Explorer had just one speaker give out and it was just that speaker's time. Wiring was fine, it just gave out with no warning.
Sorry I'm not of any more help.

My drivers side did the same thing. I want to check mine as well. Do the front speaker covers pop right off? And is there a tweeter in there as well as the large speaker. It looks like I have a seperate smaller grill in my front doors?

Yeah magnet, if you take a small flat head screwdriver and work your way around the outside of the grill they pop right off and gives you access to the speaker without having to remove the door panel . Yeah the smaller grill is for the tweeter. Not sure if that grill comes off, but someone else with a fancy truck should know. 
Yeah I'm jealous, I'm working with no tweeters or power equipment haha. It was nice of them to put power steering and brakes on the truck though.

I already upgraded my rear speakers to a set of Polk Audios, They sound great. If I replace the fronts, Do you mess with the tweeter and replace both or just the main speaker? I'll have to see what the guys at BestBuy recommend. Thanks for the info.

I replaced my fronts with those 6x8 2 way Infinity Reference ones at Best Buy that have the 2db switch on the tweeters. Holy crap they are awesome. They have really good bass and the music just overall sounds great (I listen to metal and country, no rap). This is compared to Pioneer 3 way 6x8s I had in front, which are now in back. Here's a link:Infinity - 6" x 8" Car Speakers with Polypropylene Woofer Cones (Pair) - Silver - 6832CF

I put one inch tweets in the doors from ebay and this thing sings now.
