Help I'm going mental!!

I need some advice urgently before I go mad!!

My passenger side speaker seems to be making the door or casing vibrate like mad at even very low levels of bass. Now I recently took the advice that I think Doug gave and removed the speaker to cut a cat flap in the waterproofing in the door to get extra bass. The problem now is that at even very low levels, anything with even a tiny amount of bass makes the whole door vibrate.

I thought it might be the grill vibrating against the housing, so I took it off for a recent trip. No difference at all.

The vibration is really driving me mad and ruins any music enjoyment. I know that the factory stereo is pants but does everyone have this problem or just me. Strangely, the drivers side doesn't seem to do it unless you really crank the thing up.

I even recently disconnected all the tweeters as the shrill was terrible.

Lastly does anyone get a low level type crackling coming from the electric door switch area when moving. I have this very strange crackling / rustling noise and I can't identify what it is. Bloody annoying though!!

Help guys!!

re door ticking/ clicking...I have that too :?

I think as I only hear it when it's raining, that it might be dripping water down the window rubber seal, it's the only think I can think of.

Do what I did when I had simillar speaker problem. I have as you know replaced the fronts with a Sony component set and ended up with a rattle from the passenger door.

Open the door and listen for the rattle and then apply pressure at different points around the door trim and locate the rattle, mine was from the bottom right corner near the speaker. I then folded a piece of paper several times over and wedged it between the trim and the door and voila irritating rattle gone.

Manny has the right idea, if you dont want to do the folding paper trick another is to remove the speaker.

Install some sound deadening material to the doorskin behind the speaker and for good measure use either some black rubber silicion ( ask the a cosmetic surgeon )

or try those black rubber grommets you an buy of varying thickness and insert them while you have the speaker out between the door and panel trim.

I am assuming the rattling is originating from the trim in your case
