stock speakers cut out at certain volume?

stock speakers cut out at certain volume?
This is my wife's 1994 Accord and she's had it about two years now. There was an aftermarket hu in it that was fine unless it was damp or raining out. Then there would be terrible static through the speakers until no sound at all. Eventually no sound ever, even though the radio was getting power.
Just purchased a new JVC hu at Circuit City (the one that came with the car was a cheap no-name). Hooked it up with the correct wiring harnesses, and now the speakers just cut out after a certain volume, like above 14.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to try to solve this? I do not want to spend anymore $$ on aftermarket speakers. My wife hardly listens while driving, but started carpooling and wants to have music for the ride, like in the background. The volume is pretty low when it cuts out now.
Do the stock speakers have another component somewhere that is causing them to cut out? Any suggestions would be greatly apperciated!

It seems that the stock speaker wiring has a short somewhere. If I were you, I'd rewire the entire stereo.

The problem is that if there is a short, you are going to eventually kill the channel on the new HU. Speaker wiring is surprisingly easy once you take the trim panels off. The hardest part is getting the wires through the rubber sleeve in the front doors.
