Default wood panel vibration

Anyone come across vibration issues with the wood panel on the front doors when the music is on? The vibration im getting is on both drivers side and passengers side, mostly from the bass. However im not even increasing the bass too much, only the second line above the zero.

It's normal, the speakers/woofers are mounted to the door so they would vibrate slightly, my ES had many vibrations in it, after some time and mileage they seem to settle and now the car is dead silent, 4Runner was the same, I'd expect the GX to be similiar

Give it some time before you bring it in and let the techs tear the inside door panels off, then if it bothers you and it has not settled then take it in

I had the same issue but only on the driver's door. I know this sounds strange, but turning on the ASL feature of the sound system took care of the problem...

i noticed it also. the only way to prevent it, don't listen to music that loud! or don't listen to music that has a lot of bass boom as much as possible.

I gotta solve this vibration issue. It is so annoying, and I do like to pump up the volume.
