Roughly two months ago, my right side began to cutout in the middle of
a song. It'll occassionally come back on for a few brief seconds
before making this quick crunch noise and then back to nothing.
Sometimes I can barely hear the music. Sometimes there's nothing at
all. In order to fix this, I just turn up the volume on my car CD
player to an insane decibel and the right side will come blaring on
only to cut out when I return it to a normal listening level. I own a
Pioneer DEH-P4500MP and a Ford Contour. Is there any conflicts
between those two that might cause this. I had first thought of a
blown speaker but I doubt it would do these insane stunts. Any ideas?
Thanks

It's just the Pioneer hooked up to the Ford speakers. It's not a Ford
premium sound system and I did not install it myself. That help any?

Couple questions

1.) Do you have an aftermarket amp installed, or just the Pioneer hooked to
the Ford Speakers?
2.) Is it a Ford premium sound system
3.) Did you install it yourself?
4.) If yes to 3, did you cut the harness or buy one from a shop?

At the amplifier, swap the left and right speaker wire. If the same speaker
cuts out, the problem is the speaker or the wire to it. If the opposite
speaker cuts out, the problem is the amplifier or the head unit.

let me throw out a couple scenarios I've seen and might be the problem

1.) Seriously doubt the speakers are the problem. Here is why, if it was
the speakers, what are the chances that both the right speakers do the
problem at the same time? Something like that would be a radio/amp/etc
problem. So could be the Pioneer headunit. I am not 100% ruling the
speakers out, but kinda harder to believe for now.

2.) Still could be a premium sound system and you are not 100% sure. I
have had many problems with the Metra ford premium sound adapters lately not
pluggin into the Ford harness very good causing the pins to fall out of the
Metra harness creating intermediate sound. Kinda hard to explain, but a
possibility.

So I guess the next step you can try, if you are capable, is either swap the
pair of the speakers or reverse the wires at the radio and see if the
problem still persists on the right channel. If it does, then the radio is
bad (would be on the left side if you did the reverse the wires at the radio
method).

Just my thoughts. . .

Deck power is the worst in terms of actual wattage and distortion. Get an
amplifier! P.
