Default Think I lost an amp or speaker?

2014 ultra with 2 mhx280's running Dd aw6.5 with,/at 28 in front, Alpines in the rear pods. Ran thru a monster rain yesterday. All was good. Today nice and sunny, on a long run and the front right speaker starts crackling really bad, had to pull main fuse to amps to got back to camp. Took it apart an unhooked right speaker and the system is fine.... Hook up th right speaker and it crackles severely! Let it unhooked till I get home Sunday.... Any ideas? Help!

Try swapping speaker wires left to right. If the problem stays on the right it's the speaker. If it moves to the left it's the amp.
