Rattle in passenger speaker

Hey guys,

So recently I've been realizing there is a rattle in the passenger side speaker when I play bluetooth music that has a deep bass (doesn't really happen on radio because I guess the bass isn't strong enough). Could this be a blown out speaker or something else?

THANKS

Put on a track that has the bass. Then sit in the passenger seat and see if you can locate the buzz. It could be the light pipes if you have the lighting package. On certain kinds of music the light pipe on my rear passenger door will buzz. It actually vibrates within the trim. I can play the music, hear the buzz, press my finger against the light pipe and it stops.

Thanks, I do have the lighting package. I will try this tomorrow! Were you able to fix this?

I fixed it and maybe a year later it started vibrating at another point. Initially it was the very end. I dabbed a little clear silicone caulk around the end and that stopped it. It's now buzzing towards the middle. Haven't decided what I'm going to do with that yet...I have a bunch of other stuff to mess with on the car before I get to it. Probably will be installing side skirt extensions this weekend, plus it needs a serious detailing.
