Default Rattling noise from speaker?

Does anyone has rattling noise from any of the speakers? I've some rattling noise from the sub behind the passenger seat sometimes, it usually happens in the cold morning, on low volume, say at level 7. Bought it to dealer but they cannot reproduce the problem. no luck to fix anything.

I've noticed an intermittent rattle/buzz from the speaker in the passenger door.

Doesn't bother me as much as dealing with the stealership though!

Yes, mine rattle too. Brand new speakers. I believe the door-panel is vibrating somewhere... Haven't figured that part out yet. If I have time today I'll remove my panel and see what I can come up with. It's probably something we'll just have to live with unless you wanna spend some mula on dynomat or something similar. And that might not even solve your problem.

I noticed this same problem, mainly the passenger door speaker. I believe it is related to the problem I also have closing the doors tightly in very cold weather. I noticed when I slammed the door shut hard, the rattling speaker stopped. In a different thread we talked about how the doors don't close well when the weather is extremely cold, possibly because the weather stripping becomes very hard.

there are 3 bolts in the door panel that secure them to the actual door on top of the numerous clips, i would try tightening these bolts and snugging up the speaker screws themselves, this may take care of most of the problems, as for the one behing the seat try snugging thoose screws up making sure that there isnt anything for them to vibrate against (possibly something behind them) there is a large cavity behind the rear speakers. past that dyna mat lol.

Hmmmm I have the passenger side speaker cut in and out sometimes over rough bumps. May have to do with the window regulator being loose on the passenger side door in all crossfires.

Haha, left my car at the dealer overnight, so they can test it in the morning (The rattling noise usually happens in a cold morning.)

Free new speakers on order under warranty.

Had a look at my panels today... this is my verdict: I have no clue.

What did you say to the dealer, and what did they say to you? Did you have to show them the problem? Mine is sporatic and it wouldn't happen with someone in the car..

Also with my aftermarket headunit i'm sure they'd blame it on that..

Yea I've all the original audio equipments.

I actually went to two different dealers for this problem. I just told them the speakers make rattling noise on the bass and lower tones.The first dealer told me that they tested the entire audio system and can't find any problems (this dealer sucks as they also told me my Bad heated seat is working normal!) The second dealer I visited is much better, eventhough they cannot reproduce the rattle noise on my first visit. I left the car over night with them on my second visit, since I specific that the rattle noise usually happens in a cold morning, and they confirmed the problem and changed a new speaker for me.
