Zoltan, I would guess you need to run a separate ground to each speaker, a fairly difficult / time consuming job (I just did it this spring). Before you undertake this project, perhaps you could run a test wire back just to see if it makes a difference. My guess is that it will. Good luck JGS 84 1.9L Westfalia Bleu Schtroumpf
