few things to check:
see if speaker terminal is touching metal (grounding out)
see if wiring harness in door jamb is damaged
se if wiring is loose
see if speaker is damaged at tinsel leads

If you used the factory wiring it should be fine. If you installed your own it might of got pinched or poked by somethign and is shorting out partialy.
I'm with Ryan, sounds like something is shorting out or has a bad connection somewhere. Take the speaker out and look behind and make sure everything seems legit. Make sure when you are screwing in the bottom screw its not hitting the wire or something silly like that. Make sure your connection to the speaker terminals is strong.

And if the problem persists and you can't figure it out I'd take a look at the wiring you ran (if that is the case) and make sure there are no pinches or penetrations anywhere.

You could also switch the outputs at the amp to help you isolate the problem a little more.

These are amped right? Swap your RCA's and see what happens.

Hook the speaker up to an AC outlet. That will fix your problem

:)

Alternator whine?

Your grounds are good aren't they? I've got alternator whine right now, but that's because of my ground. I'm not going to sand off the paint until I go to fasten both amp's ground.

screws went in easy.. bu tthe top one comes loose, i got some new clips through.

but the coaxils are some memphis 6.5" oversized. forgot the actual model... they need to be replaced.. i've had them for like 2 years.
