What would cause my car stereo system to sound horrible one second, and sound great when I hit a bump ?

Question

I took off the stereo and looked behind it making sure all wires were properly attached and not lose, and they were securely placed. I held the unit in my hand and turned on the cd player, I then noticed that when I tilted the set ALL speakers would work just like they should but when I leveled it or just moved it around the speakers would cut off and sound horrible. What can be the problem? I'm assuming the wires are all placed in the appropriate places if the sound works fine when I hit a bump in the road.

Answer 1

sounds like the circuit board inside the head unit is bad.

Answer 2

ya somthing in the head unit is shot or is loose

Answer 3

Sounds like a short somewhere inside the unit.  Unless when you are tilting the unit you are pulling a bit on the wires that are shorting out somewhere down the line.

Answer 4
