Default Rattle?

Just got an SRT coupe today. While the car was turned off, I decided to test the stereo. I believe the bass setting was between 7 & 9. From the driver's seat, I heard this awful rattle that sounded like it may have been coming from the passenger's side tweeter. I'm not sure if it was the actual speaker iself or just a rattle from the dashboard that was caused by the bass. Anyone else have this problem and/or have any suggestions. Thanks!

It seems that the doors rattle 'cause they aren't really meant to take the low bass frequencies. Read this thread, alot of folks have done this simple mod to fix it! I have and it sounds like a different stereo.

I have my rear speaker replaced under warranty due to a rattle. Maybe you can check with the dealer if yours still under warranty.

Yeah. Mine is under warranty. Would I ask them just to replace the tweeter? Or just to check to see what it is? They probably wouldn't be able to recreate it.... And sometimes if they go tinkering, the rattling gets worse...

Yes they won't replace it unless they are able to reproduce the problem.

It actually took me 3 trips to 2 different dealers to fix it. the first 2 times they unable to recreate the problem. The last time I leave my car there over night, since the rattle only happens in a cold morning, so they can able to test it and replaced my speaker.
