Default Speakers cutting out when turning

I have had this problem for awhile now and I can't figure it out.

When ever I turn left my speakers cut out. They also tend to fade in an out depending on how fast/hard I am turning. (ex. No problem changing lanes). If I drive straight or turn right there is no problem.

Now this is the strange part. This only happens when the car is moving. If I am parked I can turn the wheel left and right as hard as I can and there is no problem. If I begin to move the speakers cut out. Again it depends on how fast I am going. It doesn't happen if I going 5-10 mph. Only in the normal driving range of 20-50mph.

I was just curious if anyone else has had this problem or something similar. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

are your speaker wires dangling over the steering shaft into the firewall?

^ x2. I would start by checking all connections
behind the head unit, see if that fixes the prob.

That was my first thought, but I figured the speakers would cut out no matter if the car was moving or not.

They are soldered.


I fixed the problem. My drivers side front speaker was causing a short. I removed it and have had no problem since. I'm still confused on why one speaker going out would cause the rest to fail though.

At least its sorted now. Shorts in speaker circuits
can cause weird effects just like you had.

Could be some kind of protection in the headunit if the speaker was shorting to itself as to not cause an overload situation on the internal amp. That would also explain why it would "fade" out, if it has a small cap or something in it.
