    Whenever I have a heavy bass song, and it hits, the passenger speaker rattles. I think it's a blown out speaker, but I'm no sure. All my speakers are stock, what else could it be?

    Or is it just a blown speaker?

    The "up/down" window switch is probably the rattle you hear. They tend to have a little play. I can hear mine rattle with bass from time to time.

    This. You can get some pretty decent speakers for a low price. The paper OEM cones are super bad.

    Smash, try this.

    Start the truck in your driveway. Sit in the passenger side, close the door. Turn up a heavy bass song and listen carefully..if it's your switch or something else on the door you'll find it with a discerning ear. Just usually have to be right on top of it.

    My guess is it's your speaker, but that's the easy guess. My old truck had an awful rattle and I found that it was the window crank..the installer didn't put the little plastic ring back in and it was making a racket.

    Thanks everyone, I pretty much have my bass on blast every time I get in, hahah so it's time for some upgrades. Luckily this won't be an expensive upgrade.

    Hahah thanks ABA 180! That's my pro detail skills at work hahaha
