I have a pioneer head unit that I know works fine for sure because I tested it in my other car. But the head unit continues to play but I get no sound. Sometimes over bumps or something it will cut in for a second but then short out again. I could see if just one or two speakers did this by haveing a short in the wiring to them. But would all 4 speakers be shorting out at the same time? Should I rewire all 4 speakers individually from the reciever?

sounds like a short, essically(SP?) when u go over a bump and it cuts out and comes back. check all the leads to ur amp.

Does the unit go dead or just sound cut out?
Sometimes a big bump will make the cd player shift and it takes a second or two to come back.
Also, D34DC311, were trying to spell especially? LOL... :biglaugh:
I would just wire everything by yourself. New wires would be a good idea considering you have no idea what monkey re-wired your car before.
The sound rarely works but the head unit acts as if it is still playing. It never cuts out. The sound doesn't just skip over bumps but it sometimes will "cut in" IDK the opposite of cut out.
Should I rewire just from the head unit to the speakers or everything else?

if you can,just put a cheapie speaker to the head unit. i mean remove it,but still leave it functional,and test the speakers from the back of the unit. simple way to tell if it is the head unit or the wiring
ah car stereo is fun, loose harness? thats the only thing i could imagine making all the speakers cut out at once.
For anyone who is wondering. All of my speakers were cutting out becasue the wire leading to my front driver side speaker was cutting itself up against the the inner door. The spot that the wire feeds through the door had an edge on it and the wire was stripped in that spot. The wire was touching the bare metal then and shorted out the whole system. A simple wrap of electrical tape solved this one.
