    e39 touring, strange audio problem

    I have a 2002 540iT. When I bought it a few months ago, it had no sound because the amp had gone bad. So I bought a new (used) DSP amp and now the music works. But it sounded like crap.
    I just listen to podcasts, so I just played them through my phone instead of the stereo. But, the library finally got in the audiobook I've been waiting for! The subtle art of not giving a F*ck!

    So I had to use the cd player. It sounds staticey, unclear but not horrible. So I figured maybe a speaker or something is blown. I also felt it was more centralized in the driver door.

    Today on my way to work, I came to a stop and the audio was now clear. So I tested it out when I got to my office and yup, when I'm sitting still the audio seems clear. When I'm moving, it's junky.

    Any thoughts on what's going on?

    Is the sound from all speakers affected?

    No, I don't think so. I feel like it's mostly just the driver door, maybe just the tweeter?
    I haven't taken anything apart yet to look at wires etc. Just figured I'd ask in case there's some common issue with these.
