Thankyou good sir. I am 8 months pregnant and ran out of nesting jobs. Then bam. Saw this video and fixed both front speakers within the hour. 👍💯
I'm glad that I gave you something to work on! I hope you and baby are happy and healthy! Yall be safe and enjoy the crackle free music!
Thanks for this video, Darius! I just had a pro install a new speaker to remedy this exact passenger-side problem and when I went to pick it up, the other side started rattling. Instead of bringing it back to them, I’m gonna do it myself with the help of this video, so thanks so much.
Awesome! Save a few dollars for sure. I go hard on my speakers everyday, especially with the Pioneer HU and the repair is still holding up!
Thank you very much for this video! My daughter and I followed it pretty much frame by frame and she’s so happy her speaker no longer rumbles!
Glad it was helpful!
How long did it take you to complete the job ?
Probably the most detailed video I've come across. I have a mazda 6 Estate 2014 model and I'm experiencing this same problem. Funnily enough, it seems to make that same rattling noise as yours so I'm convinced it's the same issue. Eitherway I feel confident enough to try it myself. Many thanks again brother!
That's why I make my videos! If it only helps one person, it makes it all worth it! I hope it fixes your issue! PS, I wish we got the Estates here in the States!

Thank you for your vid Darius! I just glued both of my frontdoor speakers in my Mazda 3 today and watched your Video like 3 times in preparation, since it's almost identical to the Mazda 6! You did a great job explaining every step! Thanks again and keep up the good work! Greetings from Germany.
Nice! I’m glad it worked out for you! It’s def cheaper to repair to get the sound back right!
Had the exact problem with my 2016 Mazda 6. This detailed instruction worked like a charm. Great video, thanks man!
Glad it helped! Now I need to do my driver side bc it’s rattling 🙃
Thank you this took less than 20 min to do the same fixes in the video as this happened to both sides of my speakers over the years. Glad I found your video and saved money doing it myself.
I’m glad it helped you! Those Bose speakers are not cheap!
I have a 2015 mazda 3 with the same issue and this solution fixed my problem. Really appreciate the do-it-yourself video! Saved myself some money and learned something new 👍
It’s good to hear that it fixes the issues on the 3 as well. I’m sorry that the 3 has the same issues, lol. It’s probably the same speaker I would assume.
@@DariusBuildz it's a bose speaker but it doesn't have any drip guard on it. Looks to have been the exact issue you had on your speaker lol. Hoping the glue lasts for a good bit
I'm having the same problem with my 2015 Mazda 3. I don't know how ballsy I feel taking the door off. lol
I didnt know I needed to know this. My speakers have annoyed me for years and I have just ignored but the crown, is mentioning sound deadening mats. I have now repaired the Bose and replaced rear tweeters while at it and put sound deadening throughout front and back doors and replaced the faded doo seals. Thank you for taking all the knocks to show us how to do it.
When I saw the price of the speaker replacement was $250+ I had to atleast attempt to repair them 😆. 10+ repaired and none have failed yet!
Thank you so very much for this video. I was quoted $340 to replace my front passenger side speaker as I was informed that my Bose 9” sub was blown. I was baffled because I like bass but not so much to blow the speaker. I have a 2015 Mazda 3 Grand Touring and I started hearing the rattling this winter. I watched your video and knew this was probably my issue as well. I followed each step with my brother in law as I didn’t feel comfortable removing the door panel all by myself. And sure enough, almost half of my speaker was pulled away but with rust. We took q-tips and dipped them in isopropyl alcohol to wipe away all the rust, let it dry and glued it down. We used small clamps to hold in place, let the glue dry for a half an hour then reassembled everything. Only to find out that the left door was rattling too. I wasn’t quoted the replacement of that speaker. However, we were confident enough and did the other side too. We felt like pros doing the second side. High fives and all. Note: both doors had two plastic clips that broke half way when removing the door panels but we were able to reuse them in places that we didn’t think would compromise using the door to pull it shut near the handle on the inside. Worked like a charm. Many thanks!!! My system sounds like new again with no rattle anymore. You are freaking awesome and saved me what would have been almost $700. 👏 🤩 😎
Hell yeah! I love reading these success stories!
@@DariusBuildz. Whoop whoop! 🙌 I let them cure for 24 hours. Tested them yesterday with the bass turned back up to how I had them set before and they are working perfectly. 😊 Zoom Zoom Zoom! Boom Boom Boom!!! 💥
Also, for people who don’t feel comfortable removing the clips with a flathead screwdriver, they can buy something like this. GEARWRENCH Panel Clip Pliers - 3705 Black Large or similar.
Good enough video for me to watch all the way through even though I don’t even got the Bose system 🤙🏾
That next upgrade might have it! Go ahead and get that 2020 GT Reserve turbo!
Thank you! I just got my 2016 Mazda GT and wondered why the bass was turned all the way down. Rattled the sec I upped the bass. I decided to give your method a shot and it worked! I was a bit terrified at first but I kept at it. Thanks again!
I’m glad it worked for you! It’s definitely intimidating at first, but it’s such a good feeling once they are fixed and no longer rattles!
Your video is the only one I’ve watched that showed how to remove and reuse the door clips so thank you for that! None of mine broke, but the majority of them stayed in the door frame rather than the door panel. I knew I didn’t blow my speaker and started researching the issues with Mazda 6 with the Bose package. Sure enough passenger front was rusted and separated, bought some silicone adhesive and fixed it right up!
I’m glad it worked! I try my best to show how it’s done to help others! I thought I was going to have to replace my speaker as well, until I saw the price! I figured I would try to repair it first! Still holding strong!
String wrapped around the clips and a tug and they pop right out..
Thanks dude. I just wanted to know how to remove the doorpanel because i thought i had blown my speaker this evening. Thanks to you I wasn't just able to remove the panel and install it again, I also have a working speaker again.
Awesome! I glad that it worked! My Bose speaker is still running strong!
I have no idea what I’m doing, but you made it easy to follow and I felt confident!
Thanks for that, worked on my 2012 Mazda CX-5
Glad it helped! Enjoy your music!
Thank you so much for this bro , bought my car last night and both fronts were unbearable. Fixed it today using this video.
I’m glad it solved your issue! Those busted front speakers sounds terrible!
i have the same issue with 2014 mazda 6 gt, im going repair it today, thanks for the upload
It seems to be a very common issue that Mazda isn’t willing to help with outside of the warranty.
I have a 2016 mazda 6 and both front speakers were blown when I bought the car....The dealership had adjusted the bass and fader to mask the problem. I tried this fix today and WOW. It worked!
Thats dirty of the dealer! But i'm glad that it worked! Mine are surprisingly still holding up against the daily abuse!
What is the size of front speakers? 6.5inch?
@@itsval3508 The Bose speakers are 9" subwoofers
Nice job on the video! Really helped me out!
It’s always good to hear that it has helped someone!
Thank you for your instructions! Fixed driver speaker recently!
Glad to help!
Thanks man, this is awesome that you made this video. Exactly the problem I was having.
It’s so many of us. I never would have thought that so many people have had and would have this issue.
Great video, I was able to fix my front speakers today. Thank you very much my friend.
Awesome! It’s good to see this video is continuing to help!
I have 2015 Mazda 6 Atenza (similarly specced as the GT spec in the US I think) and the LHS (passenger side for me) is rattling like crazy. Had to turn down the bass to the -6 or whatever it is minimum and still can hear it. I'm not a very DIY inclined person so I might ask my regular indy mechanic to do it for me, and thankfully through your video he would then just follow it through haha (not many Mazda 6s here in Australia so I'm not sure on the general knowledge of this issue of regular mechanic). Thanks again man!
I hope its easy for your mechanic to follow and your sound be up and running again with good base in now time!
This helpful video instructed me how to successfully repair my blown speaker. Thank you sir!
Enjoy your rattle free sound!
Thank you for this video, have the same problem and now i can fix it because of you!
Enjoy your improved sound after the fix!
I used the black RTV gasket maker, it’s flexible and strong. Haven’t had a problem since 2017 and I drive a 2014 Mazda 6 grand touring
Thats good to know that it works! That is a readily available and quick to get!
Hey thank you so much for this guide! It worked like a charm on my 2015 mazda 3 S GT!!!
Great to hear!
Thank you for sharing this, Darius!
Anytime! Hopefully can you fix your rattly speakers!
Great video, followed every step and fixed the speaker. Tnx.
Only difference, i used a silicone tyle of glue. By my logic, superglue hardens and it is not flexible so after a while i will crack from vibrations. Silicone will not crack or break with age and it's rubbery so it gives it a bit of breathing space when the base hits... We shall see 🙂
Mine has been kicking ever since, so if mine still is, your silicone should last even longer, 😆
Worked the charm. Thanks. Same issue exactly!
Glad it helped! Enjoy your revived sound!
Did mine & it worked thank you
Enjoy the rattle free sound!
Fixed mine today, thanks for the vid 👊
Glad it helped!!
Excellent detail!
Thanks!
Thank you brother, just bought my Mazda6 GT today has the same issue should be easy enough God willing!!
It’s not that bad. Just be patient and take your time! E6000 glue works well for the job. Thick and flexible.
Thank you! Mine has rattled since I got it a year ago. I think I can do this 😊
You can do it!
Awesome thanks! Worked perfect! 👌
Awesome! Enjoy your new sound again 👌🏽
Great video!
Thanks! Just trying to let people know they have options to fix this common issue!
Thank you man
I’m glad it will help you avoid replacing a costly Bose speaker. Bc they are not cheap, at all!
Thanks for a bright tutorial.
Many welcomes!
Thank you great video!
Thank you! I need to do my driver side woofer now🙃
Just fixed my Bose speakers like this with a flexible Loctite glue. Thanks for posting but no thanks to Bose for poor corrosion resistance on very expensive speakers. This should not have happened to a 5 year old Mazda 6.
Is this glue holding on strong?
@@nayeligonzalez3362 yes I used a Loctite gel and used clothes pegs to hold in place.
I agree. And it seems that it happens on all of them. It's a shame.
Thank you! 💪
You're welcome!
Had the same problem, Its caused by the crappy paint on the basket rusting. My fix has now lasted 2 years. If you have to replace it then you may be able to wire a 2ohm sub in series with the tweeter. Good luck finding a 2ohm full range speaker that size. Its just to big for a normal full range speaker.
Infinity makes a 2 ohm 8” speaker that people have used successfully
Thanks!
Thank you! I’m glad you found the video helpful!!
Hi, thank you so much for the video. I thought my speakers needed to be replaced, took both out of my 2013 cx5 grand touring and found both cones had separated from the frame also which made my music sound very bad.
Had a heart attack when I seen the price of new speakers. Also do you think it's worth removing rear speakers for same reason? Or it's not a common problem? Thank you from Australia!
Glad the video helped! And it seems to only be an issue with the front speakers and I think it’s because they have much more excursion from being a subwoofer. The front Bose door speakers seems to be the only prone failure. It’s silly really!
Awesome tutorial - gonna try this with my Mazda 6!
BTW what song is that? Loved the beats :)
Give it a try! And the song is from
UA-cams music library. I can’t remember which song it is specifically
Thank you for the video. About to do this on my ‘15 6 Grand Touring. Did you ever replace the speakers? Having trouble finding good 2 ohm replacements.
I just repaired them and they have been working perfectly! I’ve repaired over 10 and havnt had any further issues out of them!
Yup, it seems that ALL of the Mazdas using the Bose speakers have that problem (I have a 2013 & a 2015 CX-5 and both have had the problem). One difference I noticed is that your speakers appear to have a shield over the top (back) of the speaker to help keep moisture off the speaker. It is obviously not enough to protect the speaker and have seen others that modify a 10" speaker cone (shallow) to cover this 9" speaker (I have found zero 9" speaker cones out there that will work with these speakers)
Ohh. I figured they all have the water shield for the front speakers. But Infinity makes a 8" 2 ohm sub that fits and people have used it with success. But it was just cheaper to fix the Bose speaker and see how long it lasts, lol
One more question can use J-B weld Super weld glue? Is the 2 different glues necessary? Thanks for your time
I’ve seen people use all sorts of stuff including e6000, but I used two just for a little security and extra hold. It’s been 3.5 years since the repair and it’s still working perfectly!
It is scary to remove a door panel. Thank you for showing how!
I know the feeling as this video was my first time removing a panel on this car!
Thnx bro! Saved me a set of 350€ each original from mazda doorspeakers
Glad I could help!!
شرح جميل شكرااا 👍🏻👍🏻
مرحبا بك!
Thanks for posting the video. I tried it on my 2014 mazda3 but the speaker's back side is inaccessible because of the angle. It's smaller and on a differently shaped plastic mount. Do you know how I can access the back to reglue it?
I am not sure about the Mazda 3 speaker. Is it also Bose?
@@DariusBuildz yes they're BOSE boss
@@cemilcam dumb question, did you remove the speaker from the door?
I have the Grand Touring '15 Model with the BOSE system. Where's the sub located? My 2010 Grand Touring's sub was part of the rear deck between the speakers. The 2015 Doesn't seem to have that setup.
The “sub” are the front door speakers. They are basically 9” subs. The mids and highs are the dash speakers. The rear door and rear deck speakers are just for fill.
@@DariusBuildz Got it. Thank You so much.
Awesome details man! My driver's side is rattling so I'm gonna try this out. Just wondering about the door clips though. Did any of them break when you were pulling them apart?
None of them broke on me, but I know a few peoples that have broken on the 3rd Gen 6 when they pulled their door panel off.
@@DariusBuildz Looks like I found some on Amazon in case they break.
@@JonasBuack awesome! hopefully you wont need them.
I have the same problem on my mazda 6 GT 2017, is it still holding good? Great video btw!
Yes! it is holding strong and I abuse these poor bose speakers every day
@@DariusBuildz Thanks for this reply- doing this to mine Today!
@@robert-vh6qi Enjoy your musical experience after you finish!
I have the same year and trim as you, were you able to fix yours?
That's exactly the sound my 2015 Mazda makes and it started right after getting the car new.
It happened that son for you? Did Mazda cover the replacement under warranty?
@@DariusBuildz Unfortunately not. I'm still not sure whether my dealership was being straight with me or not. I've since replaced both door speakers with Powerbass speakers.
Just followed this video and fixed my speakers! Thank you! Has anyone had the issue where they put everything back and the auto-down windows don't work anymore? It's only on the front windows which is weird. All windows roll down, all locks work, the adjustable mirrors work, and the auto down works in the BACK windows, the auto-down on the front 2 windows is the only thing that isn't working, maybe a plug not fully seated?
The windows roll down, but the auto feature doesn’t work?
@@DariusBuildz yes it was very strange but I figured it out! When the window control module is unplugged it basically resets it I guess. To fix it I held both window buttons all the way and then all the way back up and held it up for 5ish seconds. Worked immediately!
@@Beaster456 I was going to comment that next. I thought they only reset when the battery was disconnected, but if you unplug it, that makes since too. I cant remember if I had to reprogram my auto up/down
Ok so I just randomly did a fade balance test in my car as i always do and my front passenger side speaker is very low and has no bass. It has never been like this. Ally speakers are powered by amp so i changed the wires between a different channel and the speaker did the same thing. So is a sign of a blown speaker
If that’s the case, then yeah, the speaker may be bad and need to be replaced 🫣
How long did this glue fix last you, did you need to re do it?? I think I just need to do the passenger side.
Almost 4 years since the repair and it’s still working perfectly!
I have this problem with my 2014 right now. The clip situation kind of freaks me out. Lol. Guess I’ll just take it to get fixed. 🤷🏻♂️
They sell replacement clips on amazon. If you break them, just replace them.
@@DariusBuildz yeah the dealership wants $410 to repair it!!
@@lilanthny oh wow. I know the Bose speaker is about $150-200 but $410 to repair? That’s crazy.
This finally happened to me today. Lmao
I used electrical tape for now because I couldn’t find any of my adhesive that I have chingos of all over the house. They’re just playing hide and seek right now. 😂
How is the electrical tape holding?
@@DariusBuildz I just did it today, but so far it seemed to be holding ok. I pushed it into each groove as best I could. I did all 4 open slots just to be ahead of it. I'll give it a few more days and some "bass" to see if it holds.
@@AhRealMonsters Sounds good! I'm interested to see how it holds up!
Are there any other glues you recommend other than the one you used?
CA Glue. Gorilla Glue (Gel). Other than those, I don't what else you could apply that would go evenly and not harm the paper cone.
Hi my Mazda dealer said in my car is 11 bose speaker did someone know locations this speaker many thanks
Front doors (2), rear doors (2), rear deck (2), dash center channel (1), dash corners (2) and dash corner tweeters (2). That's 11 speakers for Bose.
Works for Mazda 6 2010 GT speaker not working?
If the speaker is not working it may need a full replacement. If it is working and rattling, it may work, but I have not tried this on a 2nd gen 6 Bose speaker. If it looks like mine, the repair may work!
I found a TSB from Mazda that addresses this issue and replaces the front speakers
Mazda will only replace the speakers if the car is still under warranty. And some dealers won’t replace them if the car is under warranty.
Nice job! I'm having the same issue with my Mazda and need to fix it. After the glue dries, I think some spray wax will protect that area from future water damage.
I havnt had any issues since and i am honestly surprised. i figured it would have came apart by now to be honest!
Wax idea isn’t bad. This video has me wondering how that water lip could be shaped better/have a lip that came out to get the water away from the bottom too…although I don’t think we can stop all moisture since the window will sometimes go down when wet idk
Nice, but you need to peel off the rust under paint,
If not, the rust will continue to grow all over the Speaker.
Also, before applying the glue, you should clean the part in contact with the cardboard with some anticorrosive solution until there is no more rust (
you can use a cotton swab with the solution) After that and it dries you can use the glue, since there is a large amount of rust that causes the speaker to deteriorate.
That is probably best practice, but I have had no issues 🤞🏾
Hi, can u change the speaker with another speaker? Mine is really broken.
I mean change the speaker with a normal speaker
You can but it needs to be a 2 ohm speaker.
Thank u so much for the information. Do u know what will happen when I use a 4ohm mid bass speaker?
@@ramaasyari9890 the amp would only give approximately 1/2 the power to that speaker
@@DariusBuildz aha, thank u so much. So there will be a sound difference right...
What's up brotha, did the speaker hold up with the glue?
Yep! 3.5 years and havnt had an issue!
What kind of glue is this?
CA glue. The link should be in the video description
Did you ever do the sound deadening??
Yes. I have one layer of dynamat and a layer of dynaliner behind the speaker. Helps with mid bass a lot and also decreased the rattle in the door and mirror.
@@DariusBuildz Ima prob go with amazon basics cuz im cheap. So you removed the sytaroam on the door panel and replaced that with the new liner basically? Did you add any to the door frame itself.
I put it on the door skin, not under the door panel.
What size are they ???
The Bose subs? 9"
2014 mazda 3 same problem
It seems all the 2014+ Mazda with bose have the issues eventually.
How did you get those damn fucking door panel pop things out? They keep breaking on me and I can’t get them out to reinstall the door panel. Tried string behind them like another comment said to no avail. Speaker sounds great jusr cant get the damj panel back on without getting these things out the door. Thank you for the video man
I honestly got lucky with my clips. A lot of people clips break. If they are stuck in the door, or normally punch them in with a screwdriver and try to fish them out.

Aww man! You shouldn’t have! But I’m going to stop by Starbucks and get me a big boy on my way to work my the morning!
@@DariusBuildz You deserve it being that you’ve helped so many of us by posting this video. Hope you enjoy because words cannot espresso how much you mean to me. He! He! Heh. Keep up the good work man.

Bose should be embarrassed with these speakers. Same issue happened with my Mazda and probably every other Bose equipped Mazda. These speakers are junk
I 100% agree!! Mazda definitely went the Budget Bose route with these cars.
BTW you sound a bit like Akon
🤣 never heard that one before
@@DariusBuildz BTW I used this video as a guide and successfully fixed my mazda's bose speakers at the front - both had completely unglued at the surround... now it works like new.
Nice!
Thanks for the tip sir
No problem!
