I just replaced all of the speakers and all are good except one of them makes a weird thumping noise when there is a lot of bass but the others all sound fine, any idea what it could be?

Reversed polarity (+ connected to - and vice versa) perhaps?

Wouldn't they not work like that?
No, they will work just fine, but a speaker with reversed polarity typically sounds different than ones that are connected normally. Might be worth switching the wires to see if that makes a difference.
