Thanks guys for all your help. I looked for lose connections and there
didn't seem to be any. But when I opened up the speaker case and looked
around I saw that were that where the negative wire is soldered onto
the speaker it seemed to be burnt (there are black and brown marks
around it). Do you think that this is the source of the problem?


Given that heat arises in a conductor which is too thin for the current
needed, I would guess that the cionnection has fatigued and partially
broken.

That burn-marks are not normally a feature of speaker wiring makes me
suspect that this may indeed have some bearing. While it was open did you
do the obvious, and re-terminated the wire ? Did the intermittancy go away
?
