The speaker on my passenger side door is giving off a vibration sound when a bass sound is played. I haven't had this problem until about a week ago but it is very annoying and sounds as though the speaker is loose. A month ago the door panel was removed by the dealer to raise the window to eliminate a leak/wind noise. Not sure if this may be the cause. Any thoughts on this? How easy is it to get at the speaker to see if it is loose or torn, etc? Thanks

 

door panel is easy to remove
dont try to take off the speaker screen without removing the door panel--just folded over metal tabs holding it down

 

tdsteele,

Before you remove the door panel, check the Bose insignia...it may be loose and it vibrates. I reglued both of mine...no more vibration with base

 

Had the same problem with mine, it really BLOSE.

 

i had my door panel removed and the speaker grills painted..when the panel was remounted the vibration was no longer there...

 

I had the same problem with my Bose logo. A little RTV silicone will take care of that.

Having the same problem right now with my '99 - blown speaker.

 

You also might want to check the red reflector lens. That was the cause of the vibration sound on my passenger side.

 

I pulled my lense and drove around, it turns out mine is the actual foam! I am going to have fix it eventually, very annoying.

 

Yep, I just got a small piece of thin rubber material and gently stuffed it in the cracks with a small blade. You can't see the rubber and the noise is gone.

 

try getting a louder exhaust

1 roll duct tape

self adhiesive Felt pad called [Stick-it-Felt] can be purchased at Michaels craft store. Need 2 sheets 9"X12"

Depending on model year, you wil also need a few parts, review SB! In my case for a 1999 I needed all the parts listed ($50.00 bucks total from a forum vendor)!
