Welcome to the wonderful world of the Monsoon with age. More than likely the cracking you hear may be the tweeter and not the speaker itself. On the camaro doors you have coaxials with the tweeter in the center of the speaker. This can easily make it sound like it's the speaker because of its location. My firebird tweeters crackled like that when the resistors/crossovers went out on them and it was allowing mids to get to the tweeter. I replaced the resistors with a set from radio shack I had laying around...fixed the crackling. Of course I later ditched the whole thing. Looks like a speaker upgrade is in your future!! Not unusual. It's a Monsoon...
