What do you think ?

First deinstall the dashboard speakers and check them. Deoriented membrane or bead, bad speaker coil etc. If the speakers have a real damage, you have to replace them. Check also Ohm resistance. If there is only little debree on the membrane that rattles, remove that debree and reuse the speakers if they are OK apart from that.
Than check what you have. There are different kinds of speaker sets from factory. HAES with one full range speaker, HAES with a two way system, BOSE with a two way system etc.
The BOSE system only works fine, if you have a complete BOSE setup. That means dashboard speakers, door speakers and rear subwoofer plus the BOSE amp that belongs to that system. To replace the dashboard speakers with BOSE ones won't sound good.
If the OEM 2 way HAES dashboard speakers are OK, you can add a crossover to make them sound much better.
Dashboard sound system modification
If you want to replace the dasbboard speakers with some after market ones, you'll need to make or buy additional adapters.
