Photo DIY- Speaker Surround Foam Repair

Since my boys have "Taken-Over" the Old E, they are now complaining of a nasty, Vibrating, Distorting Sound coming from all 4 Woofer Speakers (2 in the Front Doors, 2 on the Rear "Hat-Shelf".

Pricing out the speakers? Waaaaaaay not worth it on an 18 y/o car with 180,000 miles. Sooo, I opted for the El-Cheap-O fix. It ended up costing only a few bucks per speaker.

Here is my Attempt to re-create the sound:

For the Front doors, please see this post for the R/R of the Front Door Inner Panels: http://www.pointedthree.com/disc/forums/showthread.php?tid=19461&po...

The Rear-Shelf Speakers? I did an EXTREMELY shotty repair, merely popping the Speaker Grills off, and doing the repair In-Situ. I did not feel like going through the relatively involved procedure to remove the rear speakers. Lazy? You Bet!

You will need to PRECISELY measure your speakers. Most vendors will require a Precise set of numbers. These will be the values they will ask for:
