Id say thats your problem. But just to see, use the positive off your left speaker and the negative off you right speaker and then run a wire from your left neg to your right positive and see if it produces sound for a longer amount of time without shutting off. With this set up you will be running at a higher impedence.

Is it just one of the speakers or both and have you tried another aftermarket speaker to see if it do this?

As far as I know, only the 1 speaker. The other side never gave me this problem. I haven't tried another speaker. I don't have anymore 6x8 speakers to try. The components I put in the doors work perfect. I can put the drivers side rear in the other side mounted and I have no problem. But the other speaker, why only gronding out sometimes not all the time?

Sounds like somethings screwy with the one speaker.

Thats what I think too. I'm gonna send them back and get a new set. I hope that's the problem.

I ran into this when I did an install on a pt cruiser. Both the speakers grounded out and sparked. So I had to use plastic fasteners and insulate the back of the speaker. It was a big mess but the customer wanted it done.

So, is the speaker bad or should I use plastic fasteners and insulate?
