Buzzy/staticy car speaker
ChadTower:
A short in the line out to that speaker would, though, yes?

Yes.
My initial diagnostic tree would be:
1) check speaker for fault: swap a different speaker in with same wiring and amp
---> No buzz? you found it, most likely the speaker
---> Buzz? keep going
2) check the wiring / amp: get a short length of speaker wire and connect it directly to the headunit for that channel.
----> No buzz? the speaker wire has developed a short somewhere
----> Buzz? it's most likely the amp channel (even head units have amps, their just internal), keep going to verify
3) check the amp channel: hook the original speaker wire to a different channel, and put buzzy speaker back on it. ie if right rear buzzes, hook that wire up to left rear on the head unit.
I'd put my money on the wiring. Its pretty easy for the vibrations in a car to cause shorts.

Your speaker is bad. You pinheads tend to complicate things, don't you? It's like you want to go to town with your multimeter.;) ;D
Swap the two 6x9's and see what happens. Look for cracks in the speaker cone. If these are the trunk mounted ones, it probably got poked with something in your trunk. My mother in law has a Camry and she has poked several speakers.

So she is that old chick who hangs outside the convention hall in an old Camry.
