Subject:Help with speaker wiring needed

Hello all!

I am having a peculiar problem with the Blueberry (84 Vanagon GL).  When
purchased, one rear speaker was missing.  I replaced with it with a new one
courtesy of Ken.  Went in no problem.

Checked the wiring on the radio and here is what I find.  The radio has
seperate wires for each of the four speakers.  It looks like the Vanagon
wiring has one hot wire for each rear speaker, and they share a common
ground wire.

I hook up all of the wires, and everything works great at low volumes.  When
I turn the volume up, it starts crackling and the radio turns on and off.
If I only wire one rear speaker (same result using either), everything works
fine at all volume.  But with both hooked up, wacky stuff happens.

Anyone have a clue as to the problem here????

Thanx!
