What speakers is it connected to?

It doesn't matter I guess, if you have an amp and aftermarket speakers installed then disconnect the speaker output wires.

You have the amp and the deck powering the speakers at the same time? (don't know but doesnt sound good)
Or are the wires running from the deck and just dangling inside the door? (That could be a short, or ground out)

Pulled the HU, cut the stock wires, and it works fine now!
