Does anyone have speaker problems with the upgraded sound package? I have a 300 Touring with the 6-disc changer and my passenger door speaker buzzes with certain bass frequencies. I can understand the body panels buzzing when it's extremely loud but the driver's door doesn't do it, and it still buzzes when at moderate to low volumes.

I have already had two speakers replaced, and the dealer told me that this is last time they are going to REPLACE it, and I'll just have to live with it, or take it to a stereo shop. I don't think so. If they don't want to try and fix the real problem, witch is probably with the door panels and or moldings, then I'm gonna have to call Chrysler. I didn't buy a $30K car with a $900 stereo to have it buzzing all the time. Plus I think a rear speaker is blown now. I don't even listen to it that loud.

Also, does anyone have any rattling sounds coming FROM their headliner? Kind of sounds like it's right above the driver's head. I get it both with the moonroof cover open or closed.

I had high hopes for this car! I hope it doesn't turn in to a rattling mess. I might be forced to buy an Asian car if this doesn't work out! :evil: (just kidding)

I have noticed a mild ratlle in the headliner---turns out it was the baffles on the sunroof...no big deal..not sure if this what you hear or not....

I have the same problem with mine. The passager side speaker rattles. Haven't taken it in yet but I'm planing on to next week.

Taking mine in today for the Rear deck speaker. Same thing. I'll let them know that there seem to be some probs.

UPDATE!!

What sounded like the rear speaker was blown, was really a plastic cover that popped out of the subwoofer hole. If you don't have the stock subwoofer, then you just have a very cheap looking plastic "plate" that goes inside the hole. If you end up seeing this plate, you will know why it popped out. Anyway, it was a very easy fix, and the dealer fixed it when I took it in so that he could listen to it, and to ORDER me a new speaker for when I had my appointment. Well it looks like he won't have to ORDER the speaker, but I'm still taking it in for the headliner rattle.

Also, there was just a TSB released regarding this matter. The dealer knew exactly what it was before he even looked.
