Speakers cutting out
I did some research before I posted. Couldn't find anything specific and a lot of people had different answers.
My dilemma is my front driver speaker would cut off and on from time to time. This has been going on for a few weeks. Usually it'll cut out but not enough to bother me because it will just turn back on.
Today the driver side speaker stopped working completely. All other speakers in the car still work.
Any ideas??
Car has two bridged amps, 10" sub, pioneer front speakers and alpine headunit.

Re: Speakers cutting out (OneFire)
Couple of things it could be.
First guess is one of the terminals fell off, the drivers door usualy gets the most wear and tear. The stock terminals are larger than most aftermarket terminals and if they didnt get changed out, that may be your issue.
Second guess would be the voice coil in the speaker failed, less comon than the above but it happens. If its a coaxial speaker, check to see if the tweeter still plays, just fade front and ballance left and listen.
Easiest thing to do is remove the speaker, if its connections are sound, check it for continuity with a VOM (volt ohm meter), should read around 4 ohms. You can also use a small AA battery or 9V battery with two leads on it, you should get a loud pop.

Thanks for the help everyone! Turns out it was the terminal. Thanks again Kirt!
