Rear speakers buzz/vibrate

Anyone else have this issue? Super annoying. I can't turn the volume/bass up as high anymore because the rear speaker covers buzz/vibrate.

Found this out because my friend sat back there and held them (the Bose covers) down and the vibration/buzzing was reduced.

Any suggestions or remedies? Anyone else have this issue?

Thanks in advance for the help.

My problem was the rear brake light cover vibrated alot. I took it off for the time being and its helped alot. Plan to line it with a foam wrap of somesort one day as I have read it helps.

Would think the same thing can be done to the bose covers if you disassembled them (took off the cover)

Hmm. I wonder how much of the sound the foam would muffle in the speaker covers if I did do this.

Thanks for the suggestion dude. Hopefully other people have ran into this and have other suggestions or remedies.

I just had my system put in and the vibration came from the rear brake cover...hold it in place and youll notice a big difference I put a clear tape on top of it for the mean time and it solved the bad vibration.

I had vibration from high mounted brake light I took it off an put some rubber stripping with an adhesive backing inside.... worked great. I would imagine the same would work for the speaker covers if this is where your vibration is coming from. Try removing the brake light and see if you still have the rattle.
