Default Frozen Speaker!!!

So what do you guys think I should do? My right front speaker froze! There was no sound from the woofer when I turned the stereo on this morning, had some free time so I checked every damn connection. Ended up taking door off and removing speaker to find that the cone was frozen. All the rubber edges were hard as a rock. I took it inside to inspect it under the light and when I put it under a lamp and touched it again, the ice broke loose and water started to drip. I left it next to a heater for awhile and then connected back to the car: no sound.

Should I complain to Scion (There doing the wind deflector tomorrow)? Or should I just try to get the Manf. to try and fix it under warranty? The speaker was only put in on Thanksgiving, which is less than 2 months ago.

Well, since it's aftermarket, probably not getting anything out of Scion for it.

It was actually frozen like ice frozen? After the ice melted, could you move the cone at all?

yeah, like water got into the door and then froze inside the speaker. The cone was rock solid. After I took it out and put it next to a heater, I could move the cone again but it didnt work when I plugged it in.

I thought I might have a shot with Scion since the amount of water that was in my door was more than should be normal. Besides the speaker, the inside of the door was covered with frozen drips of water everywhere.
