Short?

[zachattack715]

All i know is that my 2 right speakers in my 04 jeep wrangler will cut in and out at random times. Would this just be a short somewhere in the wiring? And what do i need to do to find it? Is is just easier to run new wire when i get my new speakers?

it could also mean that the speakers are on there way out when you get your new speakers hook them up see if it does the same thing if it does then its a short

You gotta give some more info - stock speakers/hu? Aftermarket? Are the speakers amped yet or what? Anything in particular it does when it custs out, for instance when you hit a bump, when the music has a loud part, more often when ac is running?

i put in a hu but still stock speakers. no amp. i don't notice them cutting OFF when i hit a bump but if they're already off they do tend to come back ON with one. And there's no crackling just complete silence from them. unless i turn the balance all the way to the right and turn the volume all the way up i get a little bit out of it but barely.

i thought the same thing so i switched the left and right speaker in my dash and it made no difference at all...
