Help!

So, I got a new stereo, it's a cheapo WalMart $40 type CD player, and I wired it all up, plug it in and... wtf? It will turn on and play the CD just find, but there is a very loud buzzing from the front left speaker, and when you turn the deck off, the buzzing dies down and died with a little pop, and then if you turn the deck on again, it will SAY it's playing the music but nothing will be coming from the speakers. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes, and it'll do it all over again. It's really pissing me off. I already checked and re-soldered the wires for the front speakers, and I know the wiring is OK since it WILL play music, the speaker just buzzes...

Any help would be appreciated, I'm leaving on a road trip in 2 hours and I would really love a radio :D

Simple problem: left front speaker buzzing for no reason.

Simple solution: remove left front speaker.

Problem solved :D

Were the wires bare any where. I have not experienced anything like that. But I have gotten some funky sounds if wires are bare and ground to a piece of metal or touch each other.

Could be some low quality equipment. Not bashing you I can understand not wanting to spend lots of money. You could prolly find a quality deck on Ebay for that price.
