left channel cuts out, info on why? details inside

[reed dollaz 10+ year member]

I'm running an Eclipse EA2000 to my Eclipse SC6500 components. I havent drove my car in over a month, but the stereo was fine. I get in today, drive for a little bit and notice that when i turn to the left or the right, or stop hard enough, my left channel will stop playing. Seems like it happens if the amp gets moved. It doesnt go into protect, my right channel still plays. The amp is secured, ground is secure, all wiring is secure. Its never happened before. Any ideas on why it might be cutting out? It plays fine, but cuts out randomly when i make sharp turns or when i stop/accelerate. It was also making a weird whining and popping noise when the car would get shut off, and the amp shuts off. As soon as the amp shuts off i hear a whining and popping noise from both sides of my components. This never happened before, everything was fine.

sounds like ur rcas are bad or they pop in an out. Does the left channel always not work or is it just sometimes?

Are the passive crossovers fastened down?

Might be a loose speaker wire.

yea everything is tightened down. ive checked all the wiring. nothings loose. and its never happened before, never had a problem with this setup until today. as far as the RCA's, they are brand new. probably used for a total of 10 hours. the popping noise went away, it doesnt pop anymore. but the left channel still turns off.
