OK, check this out, the stereo on an A2 is not of a keyed design (at least mine wasnt) so, perhaps the amp on the AKTIV speaker is getting power and having a short internally. Many Bose-Audio equipped cars such as the Nissan Maxima's and Audi's had car fire problems from the amp's in the speakers overheating. I bet you are having a similar problem...
