Weird speaker cutout issue
Friday, November 18, 2005 6:38 AM
This is a weird random thing. I'll be driving along and the passenger side speaker will cut out. But I can just crank up the volume, and it will come back on, then I can lower the volume down again and it works fine.

Any Idea what would cause this? I've tried it with 2 different sets of speakers with the same results.

I had the same problem with my rear passenger speaker. Found out it was a loose connection. Recheck all connections. Use solder for any that you did not do in the beginning.

nope, tested both of them, even switched them around.

I'll make sure to double check all my connections.

Check to make sure that your RCA connections at your amp are tight, aren't tarnished and don't wiggle. I had the exact same problem with my orion amp - every time I hit a pothole my passenger side speakers would cut out. Sometimes they would cut back in after turning the volume up, sometimes not. I found out that the right RCA connector on my amp was loose (within the amp itself), and when I hit a bump the weight of the wires would jiggle it and make one side cut out. I fixed it by securing the RCAs to the side of my sub box with wire staples, and everything has been fine for the past 5 months. My orion amp is so old (~15 years) that it's probably not worth fixing, but it seems to work just fine now.
