Same thing happened to me. The little "badge" on the speaker is what is vibrating. Be very careful and tape off area around badge and add super glue with a tooth pick. Let dry and no more vibration. After applying the glue I put a piece of tissue paper over the badge and then taped it down so it would dry and I wouldn't have to apply pressure with my fingers. Hope this is what the problem is.

Well I went a bit further. I had horrendous buzzing with my speakers, so I did the following:
Pulled the door panel off
Super glued the Blose emblem
Used 3M contact cement on the the upper door panel foam - They had come loose from the door panels.
Used very short, thick sheet metal screws to screw down the tabs on the speaker covers.
I also super glued the tabs to prevent the screws from backing out under high volume.
I added a very thin weatherstripping in between each of the door panel pins to add tension to the pins and prevent further vibration..
