Default Front Door ML Speaker Rattling

I have a 2015 UL Lexus ES350 and I play songs with heavy bass. I’ve obviously been playing it too loud because when I play those songs now, any volume above the 40s-50s I start to get this rattle from both of my front door speakers. Its honestly just on the bass. I was wondering if this was something I could just replace the foam on the speaker or I would have to just replace the speaker itself. and if I did, any recommendations of front door speakers i can replace it with.

You really should get OEM replacement speakers to maintain the sound quality and they are probably the only ones that may work with that amplifier. You can find them online at one of the many discount OEM Lexus parts sources. Enter your VIN at either site linked below then you can find the exact parts you need.
You or a local car audio shop can install them.

I don't know the speaker size, but there are some replacement foam kits: https://www.simplyspeakers.com/lexus...t-fsk-6x9.html
Amazon and eBay also have some Lexus Mark Levinson speaker foam kits in other sizes.

Really appreciate the input and advice. Gonna try out the foam kit, and if that doesnt work than I guess I’ll dish out the 300 for the speakers. Hopefully its the foam kit lol. But yeah really love the Levinson sound quality so im definiterly not trying to jeopardize that.

If the foam looks okay then you probably blew the voice coil and need a new speaker. I speak from experience.
However, Reconing is not difficult. Just go slow and be careful if you decide to try it.
