-----Answer-----
if you replace the speakers they need to be the same orginals infinity they are 2.0 ohms speakers and there is a samll amplifier behind the speaker

did you replace the radio also ?


Answer
in that case id the metal of the speakers are touching the the metal in the door the radio gets ground and it goes mute
remove the spakers from the door and play the stereo gain don't unplug the speakers if it works ok  try to get plastic rings for the speakers
good luck
