Greetings - first post in this section of the Forum.

I bought a new/used Chevy Colorado pickup with a standard stereo.

Both door panel speakers are making a buzzing sound for low frequency/bass sounds - regardless of volume.

Are the speakers blown? Maybe something in the baffling or loose panels?

Thanks,
Erik

    If both are doing it then there is a good chance theyre shot. The suspension is busted it sounds like and theyre just fluttering. If it was something loose inside the panel it wouldnt be doing it on both doors and it wouldnt be doing it much at all at lower volumes. So good news, youve got a good excuse to upgrade! :cheesygrin:
