Question Vibrating bass noise

I've got a strange, but annoying problem:

Everytime there is even a hint of bass played on the radio, the speaker from the front passenger-door emits a noise that sounds like something in there is vibrating, like a loose wire or something. Could be something else, or maybe the poor thing just needs replacing.

Anyway, I've never ventured into a car's audio-system before. Does anyone know how to get inside the speaker? I can provide pictures if that helps.

Thanks.

It may just be the speaker grill rattling or possibly something inside the door. If not, on the 2003 it is not very hard to remove the speaker and check it. Just pop off the grill and there are 4 philips screws holding the speaker in place.

Thanks for the suggestion. Well, it wasn't the grill or anything loose, the speaker-cover (the circular black thing with the blue pad in the centre, feels like it's made out of foam) itself was just vibrating strangely. But after tapping it and checking it from every possible angle, it just stopped. Hope it stays that way.
