Speaker Dies then returns and static occurs

Hey Guys!

My passenger front speaker would die and then if I cranked up the volume up it would come back on. It randomly did this for the past 3 months. Now, I hear varying levels of static from this speaker (ie it will sound good for a minute then static for a minute). Does anyone know if this sounds like the amp is going or the speaker is going? I plan to switch the two front speakers to see if the problem travels to the other side.

They are easy to remove, you could swap door speakers as a test.

Could also be a loose connection at the speaker. I had this happen to my driver door speaker about a year ago.
