Rear speakers messin up, Going on and off and everything inbetween Options

[Spider77]

OK, I've checked the search, but cant find anything like the problem I have (or maybe I didnt type in the right words). Anyways all this started to happen recently. The problem lies with my right rear speaker, at first it used to just "sort of" cut in and out (that lasted a few days), then (and still...) it totally cuts out when I press on the brakes, then comes back on when I press on the go fast pedal. During the times inbetween those two events it cuts in and out (sometimes being more in that out). Ok, so I thought that maybe my connections were bad, checked them and they appear to be fine. So now Im at a loss as to what would cause them to go out when I brake and go on when i give it some gas. Any ideas?

well the easy way to tell whats going on is to do a few test just to eleminate a few things that could be wrong with it, first i would take a meter to the speaker inputs and see what it say's it should be right around 4ohms or a little lower, if that seems fine i would take a tone generator and see if the speaker is playing fine which it should be but that just makes sure, next would be to eliminate the speaker wire as the prob, you could take the radio out and try a new wire direct to the speaker and see if that doesnt work, other than that the speaker could be grounding its self out when the car moves but i dont see that as a giant posibility

are these stock speakers??? if they are after market ...or there is a possibilty of them being re wired stick ur head down buy ur pedals and see if " ur go fast and go slow" pedals are crimping any wires....iv seen this before were a crappy instal was done and speaker wires dangled down and got bent outa shape via pedals

yeah check the wires to see if you have any bare spots showing, around the gas and brake pedals, that might be it cause what it sounds like that your not staying grounded or something like that. if you cant figure it out man give me a call and i can help you trouble shoot it.

LOL, I'm having the exact same problem with my amp. Only it's with my go slow pedal for sure.

Check your grounds and connections, I haven't figured out mine yet but I'm pretty sure it's a loose wire somewhere.

[TRD_Ian]

prolly the same deal griff....check where ur amp wire comes in threw ur fire wall....some thing is prolly messin up with the brake mechanism ....lots of people run the wires up in threw there to tuck them up there

Thanks guys, I'll go and check that out when im done studying.

Well, weird thing. I check under by the gas/brakes and found no wires just laying loose. Then I pulled my head unit out and just jiggles the wires running to it from the harness while it was playing. Nothing happened, but when I drove off and tapped the brakes it didnt go out either. So now its as if it never happened. Have no idea how I managed that I guess if it goes out again I'll have to take a closer look.

good to hear.....maybe it was just a loose connection in the back of the deck cause from stoping and going

[Akirad1]

yeah maybe just a bad connection let us know if it turns up again
