Answer 1

There is a short in your stereo speaker outputs. You will have to remove your stereo and see if you can fix the output.

You speaker doesn't work after you turn off your stereo because you grounded it with power to it. When you turn your stereo back on, it does not send a signal to the speaker untill you unplug, and plug it back in because of the short.
