[QUOTE="jthorn9, post: 658495, member: 11544"] OK, 94, they still had the crappy stock Ford stereos of the time. You could have one of a few problems. First of all what kind of connectors did you use to connect the wires, twist nuts or crimps? Reason I ask is twist nut connections, while OK for in home electrical systems, aren't the best for car stereos and can cause problems, crimps are a sure fire way to prevent problems like this "when done right." Also doesn't hurt to seal them with shrink tubing, but that's overkill. OK, check your front/rear L audio connections at the stereo, make sure they're tight (if you used twist wraps go get crimp on connectors). If that is good, then check your connections at your speakers, could have a problem there. If that's good you could have a short in any one of the L side wires, or possibly a short/failure in the deck unit itself that is causing the problem. Lastly and lest likely, the speakers could be failing. [/QUOTE]
