Infinity Kappa speakers. I just got them, brand new.

Had no problems installing...wired and played music through them BEFORE mounting them, and there was no problem. However, once I put them in, the driver side one buzzes whenever there is power flowing to it. I reduced it down to the point where I see that this ONLY happens when the metal mounting holes of the speaker contact the metal of the door. The other side is mounted the same way but there is no problem with that side. Any ideas why this would be?
 
It's happening because there's a common defect in the Kappa where one of the wires leading to the crossover/connection box is shorted against the speaker basket. When the speaker is mounted to the door metal, the speaker wire is shorted to chassis ground through the basket.
