Much depends on how picky you are about the audio quality. In a moving vehicle the sound quality may not be all that significant anyway.

As to the failure, it could be due to several things; Water damage, electrical malfunction, loose solder joint, torn cone, manufacturer defect, etc. I'd not really expect the same damage to occur to the other speaker.
Thanks, The only reason I brought up this question was because the stereo guy I took to, told me the left speaker was starting to go out also, but I couldn't tell when I listened to it...So I don't know if it is true, or just him trying to make me purchase the speakers as a set.

I only had one fail and I just replaced that one. That was about 2 years ago.

I cannot tell the difference between the Vifa and the ML speaker

Thanks Joe, I will just purchase 1 ML speaker. I was going to buy the Vifa speaker, but it seems like it is discontinued, and the only speaker that is comparable to it is around $120 dollars, for that price I might as well get the ML speaker.

I have a stupid question to ask. How do I know if I have heated mirrors, and do all Rx mirrors come with memory settings?

Here are two features attributed to the outside mirrors in the current 2012 brochure:

Electrochromic (auto-dimming) outside mirrors
Power-adjustable outside mirrors with integrated turn indicators and defoggers

Each was considered standard under Active Safety. So, if you have a brochure for your vehicle I would look under that topic. If I had to guess I would say that yours are not heated, rather, they are electrochromic and will defog -- but are not heated per se.

Thanks, I believe they are not heated either, if I purchase one that is heated, would that have any pop up some adverse code or anything? And Is there a way to find out if my mirror has memory on it?

Does anyone know how to fix the automatic headlight leveling system? My warning light came on.

Also what kind of bulbs go in the center console, radio, etc?

Thanks
