door panel rattling?!

[fredberg]

my front speakers are amped up, so they hit harder than stock. and that means the bass from the fronts are making something rattle.

when my driver side window is rolled down all the way, i get this annoying rattling noise. i cant pinpoint where its comin from. i dont think its the window itself becuz i try to hold it and the rattling is still there. its not the plastic panels, becuz the rattle is still there when i remove it. im thinking its the window motor or something metallic deep inside the door.

when i raise the window up about a few inches, the rattle goes away. did anyone else have the same problem and got rid of it? please help?!

the rattling is probably coming from the speaker hitting the metal bracket on the bottem of the window. I would say that when you roll your windows all the way down that the back of the speakers are hitting the window bracket which is making the noise when the speaker hits. I would also check that none of your bolts are have rattled loose. Front speakers do not hit to hard were they would rattle stuff loose but it is possible.
