What often happens is that the speakers "surround" (the material surrounding the cone of the speaker, often made of thin foam) dries out and rips. This is commonly reffered to as a "blown" speaker. The sound you hear is that of the surround material flapping about as the speaker cone vibrates. If you switch out the factory speakers this will solve the problem. And, as a previous poster mentioned, if you like bass you'll want to invest in a small subwoofer with a dedicated amp to handle the bass. Not only will this give you better bass, but if you use a crossover to take the lowest bass out of the main speakers, you'll also get better treble and over all improved fidelity.

Not teh?! Omg...

Well, i am not very good with cars lol im a girl! but i would say the speaker may be loose, and you may need to see a mechanic or get a new stereo system. Hope that helps :)

u might have rattled a bolt loose or possibly blown ur speakers ur best bet is to do away with the stock and put in some after market speakers but getting to ur speaker to check is a breeze remove anything that is screwed or bolted to ur door panel such as window crank or ur handle and clips hold the rest up be careful not to brake them good luck

Get new speakers. They will last a little while with bass, then the same thing will happen. Alternatively, get a sub and amp, something small will do the trick. Explanation: Larger speaker cone (your sub) can move more air, give out more vibration at lower frequency (bass). Smaller speaker cone (your usual 6.5 inch) has to travel further to move same amount of air. While it may sound the same or similar, you're driving it pretty hard and it's just the matter of time till you blow it. Rubber seal around the cone may even be intact, the rattle comes from somewhere inside in the middle. Solutions: Sub & amp, or at least a pair of speakers with good power handling and low frequency response (the lower the better, around 20Hz and lower). Good luck. PS: IF you decide to go with sub and amp, do it once, do it right, no monkey ways. Pull 2 cables, 1 negative one positive of same gauge to your amp from your battery, use lugs, don't just wrap cable around the terminals and you'll be all good.
