[QUOTE="Saylem, post: 8680511, member: 677660"] I have a 94 F150 with an after market JVC stereo that I bought from Wal-mart and 4 after market speakers. 2 6X8s behind the bench seat in boxes and I replaced the door speakers. Woth the door speakers I cut the connectors because they didnt fit and wired directly to the + and - prongs. I found a good wiring harness and followed the wiring diagram, mostly like color to like color. Each speaker is wired to a separate color pair. Front left/right and back left/right. I do not have an amp so the amp wire and the antennae wire are taped off. If the truck is off I can play through an entire album and it's fine, but while I am driving the quality starts to degrade so badly that I have to turn it way down or the bass is heavily distorted and crackly. If I turn it off and on while driving, after it comes back on it sounds fine for a few seconds then happens again. If I pull over turn the truck off and on then it is fine again. If i pull the stereo after it has been on for awhile its pretty hot but you can still touch it. Any ideas? I am going to check the ground because I wired the ground from the stereo to the ground off the harness and the only thing I can think of is an improper ground. Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
