what it is is a stock 6x9 that i dont even want to begin trying to figure out and explain everything on it. i would just go buy new 6x9s for your doors. it will improve sound qulity also

Staticky intermitent speaker is likely due to a corroding/loose connection. Often times a low cost installation uses fast ons (little tabs with a receptacle that slides over the tab). Pulling those things , douching them with contact cleaner then squish the female part pliers to re spring them so they grip the tab better can often times solve the issue permanently. If that doesn't work there is always solder.

Just bypass it.... It's old technology and a new set of speakers will sound better
