Default Annoying Rattling Door Panels

I have some excellent Altec Lansing speakers in my 95 Civid DX sedan. I have no sub. These speakers don't need one. However, the door panels rattle like crazy. Applying pressure to the panels makes no difference. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to stop the rattles?

If applying pressure to the door panels do not stop the rattling or buzzing, the offending area may be internal. You can add Dynamat or some other dampening material to the back of the door panel, and around the speaker installation.

Make sure all the clips are intact on the back of the panel and it is completely secure. You can line the door itself with a dampening material such as Dynamat, or simply box carpet, or felt, with spray adhesive depending on your budget.
