[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 8671584, member: 576029"] a couple things can cause a head unit to stop outputting sound; one of those things is a slight short in the speaker wiring. The head unit can keep playing and act like nothing's wrong because the protection can be inside the IC chip itself. First thing i'd do is inspect the connections at each speaker and behind the head unit. rule 1: no bare copper wire strands should be visible at either the speaker or any connection. rule 2: no bare copper should be close to any other wires, any metal, or the speaker basket itself. Even a few wire strands can cause the issue. And they can touch randomly. The rear speakers, if exposed to the cargo area, are usually subject to having wiring pulled or stressed or things pushed into them causing the situation. [/QUOTE]
