Thanks for the suggestion, but it isn't a problem of tinny speakers. I should have been clearer. I posted a few days ago that my left speaker made a horrible popping/hissing noise. I know it shouldn't sound like that, and the only explanation is that the left speaker is damaged. I know this for a fact. At low volumes it is fine, but if I put the speakers up on full blast, the right speaker is OK, the left makes popping noises. Even if the volume is at 3/4 full volume, the left speaker pops. I just figured that if I had to remove my logic board, I might as well put better speakers in.
