After I assured myself the wiring was good, I swapped the l/h and r/h speakers to confirm it was actually the speaker that was at fault.
The removed speaker is stamped as a Magnadyne p/n AS800W.
A search on the internet has failed to discover anything about this part number other than a new product bulletin from 2006 that identified this speaker as a 5 1/4” Dual Cone Speaker. My guess is that Magnadyne discontinued this speaker line. Apparently Thor has/had a large stock of these speakers and is using them up to depletion.
In trying to find a substitute speaker that fits the same hole as the failed speaker, I became confused as to how they size speakers. Apparently the 5-1/4” refers to the hole size required for the speaker as the actual speaker that I have measures 6-3/8” in diameter.
Has anyone else run across an issue like this. If so, what did you replace your speakers with. I hope I don’t have to modify the cabinets the speakers are installed in.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Stock speakers are total crap. I replaced with JBL.
