Hello radio gods,
I just put in 2 blaupunkt speakers and a CD player from my old car
that was junked into the car I just bought (a '90 honda civic).

there are only 2 speakers (front left and right). the old ones in the
civic were blown so i put the blaukpunkts (50 watts) in from my old
car. the tape player in the civic also was bad so I put the Goodmans
CD player (cheap but then I don't need anything fancy) in from my last
car.

Everything seems to work, except for two problems.

1) When I accelerate and the radio is on, there's a weird high pitched
buzzing noise.

2) If I raise the volume to a higher level, the signal cuts out /
skips. It does this for radio or CD.

Perhaps related to this: I connected front left and front right
speakers correctly, but I noticed that if I connected the Pos and Neg
Rear left / right wires together (those coming out of the CD player)
that the signal from the front speakers sounded better - louder and
clearer. So I tied the wires together (rear left pos to rear left
neg, ditto for rear right). I ask forgiveness if this was a moronic
thing to do.

Anyway I'd like to fix this problem.

I have the CD player manual. It reads

Voltage: 12V
Polarity: Negative Ground Only
Speaker Impedance: 4 ohm - 8 ohm
Max Output Power: 4 * 10W MPO

thanks in advance

It was moronic. Undo this, it's most likely the cause of your problem.

Also, make sure none of the speaker wires are grounded, and that the
radio is properly grounded.
