its not likely a simple fix
I would recommend taking the door panel off- and start
looking around for loose items that would make noise
get a couple pieces of sound deadner
put a piece10"x10"- over the mounting hole --cut out just enough
room to fit the speaker and remount speaker

also putting a baffle in will help quiet things down alot
make sure the door panel isnt contacting the speaker
and vibrating
