Kicker KS 5.25. Died after 3 weeks

I bought these kicker KS for my Volvo 1995 850 turbo. They sounded great. Really smooth vocals and pretty decent bass response for the size. I’m using the factory SC816 radio with one of those FM radio cigarette adapters. Volume doesn’t affect it sounding like crap

Last night I switch over from my podcast to music and noticed my right doors speaker sounded like crap all the sudden. I swapped it with my left speaker but the sound follows the speaker. The left speaker at the same volume in the video sounds perfect on the same channel. No other modifications have been made to the system other than these speakers.

Did I just get a defective speaker you think or? Even with the bass slider all the way up, the factory head unit doesn’t seem to push them too terribly hard? The speaker seemed to briefly start working again while I was on lunch in a hot car.

Should I just buy replacement KS if I really like them? Is there anything I should keep in mind and or don’t know? Thank you
