It is probably the speaker. There are 4 wires that go to the front door speakers. 2 got to the tweeters from the radio, and the other 2 got to the 6.5" from the amp. Make sure you are using the correct set of wires, also make sure the connections are good.

Also make sure you tape up the wire your not using. Also remeber that the monsoon amp puts out a different ohm load and also builds in some distortion. Your speakers may be under powered. Just a thought

The underpowering of the speakers was what a few people said......The speakers are 220 watt a piece.....So I'm guessing I need to amp them

yes sounds like they might already be blown though. Make sure you stay within the RMS range between the speakers and amp.
