I am installing Audiobahn door speakers in my 2001 F-150. The front door speakers went in fine, but I'm having a problem in the rear.

These speakers have 3 leads on them, and I assume that I have them wired properly because I have tried different connections with these. So right now I have two leads hooked up and they sound fine. But once I mount them back into the hole it turns off, as well as all of the other door speakers. If I tap the speaker a couple times it will start playing, but once I turn my truck off/on it stops again. Whats the deal?

You're driving a F150 on 22's (!!!) and you're installing Audiobahn speakers?

Huh?

Check to make sure the speaker terminal is not grounding out on the chassis of the speaker. or on the door frame.
