Some treble like went away... Today I was just messing around with the radio, I started hearing this fuzzy sound in the door panel speakers, and it seemed like the treble was turned down 
, but I didn't even mess with the treble or high frenquency settings. Now I got it set so it sounds a little better, its just not as good as before 
The bass sounds fine, no problems with that, I dont know if its radio or the amp, I have a Pioneer 6700, a set of memphis audio coaxals in the doors, the amp is a wally world 4 channel VR3 amp, and I have a wally world 10" lightning audio sub. I bridged the two rear channels for the sub so there getting 100 watts RMS and the Memphis door speakers are getting 50 watts RMS each.
Could it be the amp doing it?

Its both, trust me I have very good hearing.
Yes I wired it up myself, I have the power, lead turn on, and right side door speaker wire going along inside the plastic trim under the door on the right sde of the car. And I have to RCA's, and the left door speaker wire tucked inside the left side plastic trim, I checked my wiring many times, and its all good. I'm thinking its the amp, Lightning Audio seems to make nice amp's for a $$$

If you just lost the tweeter on the coaxial then it's not the amp. If you're not getting any sound from the speaker at all, then maybe.
I'd check the speakers as 2MuchRice said.

Well at this point it should be fairly easy to do one of the following:
- Tear out a door speaker and hook it up to something, verify it still works full range.
- Wire up another speaker to that amp channel to see if it is getting a full range drive.
- If those both go ok then hook up another speaker at the door wiring to trace it back.
Either way will take 15 minutes and poinpoint what needs fixed/replaced. Tweeters do blow, just not terribly often.
Unless you knocked a crossover switch by accident I don't think it is the actual amp section of the amp.
I guess the other thing is to check your loudness setting, though this seems silly. Most loudness's include a treble boost. Could it be anything that small?
But you sound as if your tweeters are dead, so we focus on that.
