I bought from amazon so hopefully I can get a refund. Thanks again for all of your help.
It seems like most all od the issues reported are from the fairing speakers. Has anyone had similar problems with speakers mounted in the lowers or rear pods from the same batches?
it's not just fairing speakers.. I think I've narrowed it down the the 5000 batch.. The 3000 and 4000 batches seems to be fine. I've had the 3000 batch speakers for over 2 years and nary an issue.

Polk Audio said they are not aware of any issues with these speakers.
