Default Dash Speaker access

I have a 96 coupe with very few options. No bose. How hard is it to get to the speakers in the dash? there only one lil rattle on my whole car and Its only when the bass hits that the passenger side speaker...or something very near it makes a little chatter. Other people dont even notice it but imma music nut and it drives me crazy. Im think I can just tighten a fastener holding my speaker in or replace it with some kinda replacement speaker but I dont want to tear the whole dash out just to get at it. And help would be appreciated.

The front speakers are not in the dash. They are in the kick panels. At least mine are. All you have to do is open up the door and remove about 6 screws and you can pull the whole door sill out (I think that is what you call it). The speakers will be right by your feet when you are sitting in the car. Once the door sills are off you wont miss the speakers. If you need more info, check out the audio section of this forum. Hope that helps.
