Default Bose speaker rattling question

I have a new z06, and I have noticed that with moderate bass the bose speakers rattle quite a bit. This is my second vette, so I believe this is normal. Has anyone replaced the speakers, or have any suggestions for a better result?

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 tab on the Blose emblem and Silicon Glued it. When I replaced the panel I used a very thin weather striping 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.
