Front left speaker sometimes cuts out when I hit a bump. Turning up the volume sometimes brings it back. Same for CD, radio and tape.

I know the speaker is wired in solidly - I just put in an aftermarket speaker because of the problem, wired it in good, and the problem was still there! Wiring at HU also checked - all the plugs are in tight and no amount of wiggling makes any difference.

So unless it's a faulty HU (unlikely - I can bang it up and down out of its cradle and it makes no difference) it must be a loose connection somewhere between, but not at, the speaker and the HU. This is bad, as most of the wiring is inaccessible.

So...anyone know the easiest way to access all the audio wiring behind the dash?? Or have any better ideas? It's driving me nuts!
 












That's a great thread, thanks. Will try the amp and see what happens...
