Check the ground on the radio. Sometimes if it was replaced they may have not reconnected it and the only ground its getting is from the antenna.

While it's impossible to know for certain without actually looking at your car. My first instinct would be to say it's the wire harness. I knew a girl who has a similar problem, she thought it was the speakers, so I went with her to Best Buy to make sure she got the right ones. The tech said the harness had came loose. She didn't need new speakers (though she ended up keeping them) she needed new wiring.
Anyhow, if I were you, I'd take out the deck and closely inspect connections. If you're not tech savy (don't know how to get the deck out). You can at least check the actual speaker connections themselves. On my car, they are being held in just by screws, so they're not hard to take out. So what you'd want do is make sure the connecters haven't came loose.
My guess is that somewhere in line, there is a loose wire. Could be the harness, could be the actual speakers.
Good luck.
