Speaker electrical problem

Hey everyone
In the past week the driver's side door speaker has stopped working, or so I thought, but if I get next to it I can hear music coming out of it, but it does not turn up with the passenger side speaker. I took the door panel off and checked to see if the connector was loose and put some electrical tape on it but that didnt help. Would a bad ground cause this or do I need to look at new speakers?
BTW my pass. side light is really dim, I dont know if they share a common ground, just thought I'd throw that out there.
Thanks
Drew

Thanks, I don't know why I didnt think of that. I swapped them out and they seem to be working fine so I'm not sure what the problem was.

Check your thread in the audio forum, I responded there with some ideas to why.
