Help me troubleshoot?

[doylejg3]

I'm really hoping someone with some knowledge of aftermarket systems can help me out. I unfortunately am a complete novice when it comes to wiring issues and I simply don't have the time to be without my car for the multiple hours required to have this done professionally as.

My back speaker on the driver side of my Honda Accord keeps coming in and out as I drive. When I start my car in the morning everything is working and sounding fine. After maybe 20 minutes of driving it will start to come in and out (not rapidly). It's seems to be triggered by hitting a pot hole or making a wide turn. Sometimes it's so sensitive that just changing lanes will trigger it.

I'm having a real hard time understanding why this might be. Has anyone ever experienced this before? Know any reason why it might be happening? I'd truly appreciate any feedback as I have a 10 hour road-trip coming up and would really like to figure it out. Thanks in advance!

sounds like a shorted wire. amp the rear speakers.

its sounds like you have a minor wiring issue somewhere. check all the wires behind the hu to make sure that there are no little cuts in it where the wires can be grounding out. also check back by the speaker its self, if you can trace along the wires path it would be good to check as well.

and what equipment are you running?

Thank you both for the input! The amp I'm using is a soundstream PCA4-250. I have a seperate amp for the subwoofers. The deck is pioneer P7200HD.

Sounds like you have a wire connection problem somewhere...Do some digging, something, somewhere is only making intermittent contact.

I personally don't use any rear speakers though, just a waste to me

yeah, maybe even pull out the rear speaker....maybe there's a loose connection on that

I had the same problem with one of my subs, the wire was coming loose inside the box and when I hit the rr tracks it would cut out
