Buzzing speakers!

One of my driver's side front speakers buzzes at times and for certain songs. I don't think I've blown any speakers. I'm not sure why this is. Anyone else have the same experience? You think Acura will replace the speakers under warranty?

My cell will do that if I am dialing out an it is ringing. The "hum" stops as soon as the other person picks up. At least that is the way it seems so far

This is how it was for me as well.

Naw..it has nothing to do with my cell phone.

Its just that with certain music with boomy bass..the speakers buzz or rattle...kinda like they were blown out..but not quite. I'm not sure what it is. Just wondering if Acura will swap them out for me.

I think it happens because you push the paper-coned Bose speakers to the limit. Do you have the volume turned all the way up or almost all the way up? If that is the case, you need to lower the volume instead of wasting a trip to your dealer. Unless it happens at low volume, otherwise, new speakers wouldn't do any good since they will act the same way. Good luck.

You know it might be that I'm pushing the speakers, but it only happens with one of the speakers on the drivers side. So I don't know. The other speakers don't buzz/rattle. I have the volume maybe 3/4 or 2/3 up.

First, isolate the problem by setting Fader and Balance so you can hear each speaker individually with the same song and volumn.
If you can confirm the problem only happens to that particular speaker then it's blown. Take a trip to your dealer and show the service advisor. I think he/she would take care of the issue.
