Default Popping noise when headlights turn on? Then fuse blows? Help

so my drivers side speaker makes a popping noise whenever i turn my headlights on and if the jeep is on it makes a whining noise. then eventually the fuse will blow out. I have the right speaker wires connected but i disconnected them so it would stop blowing the darn fuse. How can i fix the connection between the speaker wire and the radio wire? i tried twisting them together and putting a electrical nut on there. but still did it?

You need to inspect the wiring more I'd say. Check between door and sill. There's a rubber boot that houses a lot of wires. It's a notorious weak spot. Also go into engine bay and trace wires around headlights. There's a lot of wires that run behind bumper that are exposed to the elements. Check behind head unit for loose/broken wires... Idk man.. Good luck.

Edit- maybe need to pop door panel off to inspect speaker area itself..
