Weird center speaker problem

My speaker will intermittently sound like its blown.. Ive already made sure it isn't the speaker cover vibrating against the dash (also added the material between them per the instructions on the service bulletin).

The part that's the most confusing is that this ONLY happens when I turn the car off and then turn it right back on. Usually when I have to run into a convenience store or something to that effect. It's almost as if there is a power problem. I noticed the other day that if i turned it back off and waited for the dash to go out, when i put the key back in, the speaker went back to working perfectly. Here's a video.

My car does the same thing, very intermittently though... Whenver this happens, I go through the menu and switch from Logic 7 to standard, and then back to Logic 7 again... Fixes it every time. The center isn't blown, and everything is functioning fine. Have no idea why this happens...

Hmmm. Well that sure beats the way I've been trying to fix it. I'll try that next time. Still wish I could figure out what's causing it.

Just an update for future reference, I haven't had this problem since the COMAND unit was replaced last year.

The permanent solution seems to have be the replacement of the COMAND unit. Hasn't happened once since it was replaced.

Are some of you not reading the entire thread? Lmao. It's not a blown speaker.. It was the command unit. Something to do with the logic surround.
