I was going to start my own thread, but luckily I found this fairly recent one.

I'm 99% sure that my shocking problem is due to something in the stereo system, because it wasn't happening untill yesterday, when I put new speakers in my door.

Something is running amuck on me though. My passanger side speakers work great (I put them in first), but after putting the drivers side in, the speaker soudns like total junk, muddy and crappy. And THEN I get shocked to boot. Any thoughts? I'm goign to probably tear everything down at some point and rewire everything, but it's WAY to cold to be doign that kind of stuff now, and I'm going to be moving in a couple of days.

your generating static electricity everytime you lift your but off your seat. its called triboelectric charging. it occurs whenever you make contact and separation between a conductor and insulator or insulator and insulator. this voltage between you and your vehicle is causing you to get zapped. touch the metal of your door or any chassis metal as your getting out of your seat and the charge that develops will bleed off without you getting zapped.

Yes, you DO have to tear what you've put in and start over, because it's obvious that there are wiring errors. Fix the obvious problem with the sound...worry about the static shock later. If it's in fact still a problem when you get the issues resolved.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.
