Default Stereo Issues

Just picked up a 95 4 Door Civic. I havent had too much time to look at it yet but I'm having issues with the stereo in it.
The stereo plays normal when driving but when you come to idle/stop the sound goes all the way down to the point where you cant hear it. Then when you get moving it goes back to normal. Anyone got some clues?

Thanks

Could have a low voltage threshhold, and you're having charging system issues... When you idle, the alternator isn't spinning is fast, and on older units, this causes a voltage drop. This voltage drop in your case could be outside the acceptable voltage, causing the malfunction...

Bottom line, get your alternator checked.

Most places (AutoZone, Advance, PepBoys, etc) will do a load test for free.
