Could be a bad, pinched or skinned speaker wire.

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.

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
