sound system help

Best thing to do is run the stereo and start pulling bits off the door until it either stops rattling or you can pinpoint the rattle. It's possible that the power window units have some similar springs inside their mechanism that could be the culprit.

Are you sure it's the speakers that are rattling? I had a nasty rattle in my passenger door that I isolated as the window-winder mechanism (I have manual windows). The fix is to pull out the gearbox behind the winder, open it up, and pack it with grease. There are springs inside that box that will rattle like a mofo unless they're damped. I wasn't able to pack the gearbox to capacity, but I got enough in it to quell the rattle for a while.

Yes, it's rattling again, but at least I know the source of the racket.

No kidding same freaking problem here!

Also, as someone mentioned, the door panels are likely to rattle if its an NA with some miles on it. I actually have some folded up shop towels hiding behind the top section of the door panel that screws into the main flat panel. Gonna try some super glue for the couple of screw mounts that cracked then some foaming window sealer to keep it from rattling TCB ghetto style! Lol, hope it works or new door panels are next on the list.
