Default Passenger Bass Speaker Vibration

My 2012 A6 just started a vibration/buzz when music has a strong bass sound. It is only on the lower door front passenger side. Could it be loose or damaged? Has anyone experienced this?
Thanks everyone!

Sounds like the speaker may have blown.

Might it be a loose speaker? Because it doesnt always do this, if it was blown would it be case that it would never work.

My older C6 had this issue as well. I just used black flex seal paintable type and covered the foam surrounding the cone. Worked perfect and I "think" the bass was crisper after this, as the rubber was stiffer than the factory foam surrounds. lol


EDIT:
Heres the pic from my old thread about it.

I think this might work. I believe the foam wears out.
Thank you

I have the same problem on my 2016 A6 with Bose. Same door too. Sounds like complete ***. Been lazy to remove the door trim to see what's going on.
