Dash Speaker on Driver's side cuts off and back on. Amy Ideas as to why?

[BJSforVols]

Hoping the forum can help trouble shoot an issue for me. I have a 2019 BigHorn Ram crew Cab with the base 6 speaker audio system. I upgraded the factory speakers to Infinity Reference speakers and have not changed anything else. (Not yet at least.) The Dash speaker on the driver's side goes off and back on over and over if you turn the volume up to higher levels.



Anyone know what may be causing this?

How are your connections? Do the speakers require more power than the stock head unit can supply?

Used the crutchfield wiring harness for the connections. I will pull it out and check to make sure the connections are seated properly though. Possible on the speakers requiring more power, but wouldn't both the left and right speaker do the same thing in this situation? The right dash speaker does not do this.

What is the ohn rating of the new speakers vs the factory ones>

From what I can figure out via research, the factory speakers were 8 ohm. The ones I used for replacement state they are 3 ohm with a 4 ohm load after speaker wire.

check the polarity after hooking up the harness. I’ve seen a couple posts where people have found that the harnesses were reversed, somehow.
