Do you use the stock radio or do you have an aftermarket radio? If you have an aftermarket radio, does it have an ipod cable? If so, were you listening to an ipod when the speakers 'went out'?

when they tint your car, they spray the glass with water and soap or windex. that water goes through the seals from the inside and hits your speaker connectors behined the speakers this happenes because the seals over time are dried and do not really act as weather striping/sealant. it causes them to either not work or make a horrific sound. you have to take the door pannels off and clean and dry the connectors on the speakers and the wiring harness that clips to the speakers. this is assuming that this happened right after the tint. if that fixed your problem then i highly sugest changing all the weather stripping on your doors, because during rainy seasons or car washes the water will get inside and damage more expensive items that are not fixable and causes shorts. the weather strips arent cheap but worthed.

its an easy if you are somewhat handy. you can purchase it on any parts webiste or rom the dealer. there are two parts, one sits outside the door under the window trim and the other one wraps around the door and goes inside the door where the front of the window slides on.

I think the problem was too much water on the INSIDE of the window. Water normally does not go down the inside of the window when it rains. When they put on your tint they probably sprayed a ton of water or solution on the inside and it ran down into the doors because I don't think that is designed to be water-tight.
