Default buzzing/vibration

first post in this section

My 98 with the bose sound system is making a really annoying buzzing or vibrating nose on the passanger side speaker. you cant have any bass at all or else it happens pretty much all the time. Im wondering if the door panel is loose but Id rather not remove it (we just replaced the driver side mirror and getting the panel off was a real PITA) can you remove the speaker grille alone? it sounds like its loose or something, not that its blown. anyone else had this problem?

thanks in advance!

to start, tighten all the external screws, see if that helps... also, if dirt gets on the cone, it will vibrate, and not very complementary, I must say.

I just answered this in another post
You may have to pull the panel...
Chances are high it is the Blose emblem and the speaker cover are loose and the foam insert on the upper portion of the door.
I pulled my door panel, and had to reglue the foam, tighten the tabs for the speaker cover, by using some VERY short screws and then used Silicon Glue to finish it off. I tightened the tabs on the Blose emblem and Silicon Glued it. When I replaced the panel I used a very thin weather stripping in between each of the panel pins to tighten it up. I did this about 3 years ago, and I still don't have a rattle, even with heavy bass.

Try pushing on the door panel and speaker grille and bose emblem while the speaker is buzzing. If it stops, its not the speaker.
