Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Car Audio / March 2004Right Side Speaker Cutout
Roughly two months ago, my right side began to cutout in the middle of a song. It'll occassionally come back on for a few brief seconds before making this quick crunch noise and then back to nothing. Sometimes I can barely hear the music. Sometimes there's nothing at all. In order to fix this, I just turn up the volume on my car CD player to an insane decibel and the right side will come blaring on only to cut out when I return it to a normal listening level. I own a Pioneer DEH-P4500MP and a Ford Contour. Is there any conflicts between those two that might cause this. I had first thought of a blown speaker but I doubt it would do these insane stunts. Any ideas? Thanks Couple questions 1.) Do you have an aftermarket amp installed, or just the Pioneer hooked to the Ford Speakers? 2.) Is it a Ford premium sound system 3.) Did you install it yourself? 4.) If yes to 3, did you cut the harness or buy one from a shop? > Roughly two months ago, my right side began to cutout in the middle of > a song.

Any ideas? > > Thanks let me throw out a couple scenarios I've seen and might be the problem 1.) Seriously doubt the speakers are the problem. Here is why, if it was the speakers, what are the chances that both the right speakers do the problem at the same time? Something like that would be a radio/amp/etc problem. So could be the Pioneer headunit. I am not 100% ruling the speakers out, but kinda harder to believe for now. 2.) Still could be a premium sound system and you are not 100% sure. I have had many problems with the Metra ford premium sound adapters lately not pluggin into the Ford harness very good causing the pins to fall out of the Metra harness creating intermediate sound. Kinda hard to explain, but a possibility. So I guess the next step you can try, if you are capable, is either swap the pair of the speakers or reverse the wires at the radio and see if the problem still persists on the right channel. If it does, then the radio is bad (would be on the left side if you did the reverse the wires at the radio method). Just my thoughts. . . > It's just the Pioneer hooked up to the Ford speakers.

If the same speaker cuts out, the problem is the speaker or the wire to it. If the opposite speaker cuts out, the problem is the amplifier or the head unit. jp Deck power is the worst in terms of actual wattage and distortion. Get an amplifier!
