Do i need to rewire the whole radio?

[JVMV]

I have a problem with my radio. I installed a pioneer head unit in my 90 integra. I had the help with a wiring diagram I found online and I used crimps to wire it together.

Sometimes when I'm driving I hit a bump and the audio cuts off all speakers for a while(not the head unit itself) and sometimes it stays off until I hit another bump on the road for it to start working. I thought I wired it wrong so I rewired it again but it still does the same thing.

I'm no wiring expert but I do know what I was doing.

Is it the way I wired the head unit or is it the car wiring itself? I couldn't really find an answer on the forums but if you can find one it'll be helpful.

Any input is appreciated

Did it do it before you put the head unit in?

Sounds like you have a loose wire.

Actually i never had a working head unit till i put one in so i dont really know if it had the same problem before.

also look at the wires at the speaker. One time I thought a speaker had blown because it sounded all scratchy and what not. Come to find out the stupid PO jimmy rigged the speakers in the back and a wire was hanging by a thread. fixed that sh**

It does sound alot like a speaker wire is touching ground somewhere, because even when one wire to one speaker gets grounded out, it'll knock out the sound to all four speakers. Or maybe a speaker isn't mounted well, and when you hit a bump it moves and the terminal hits a metal area, and grounding out that way.

Yeah mine does the same thing but my still the stock radio; I'm pretty sure that is a short or something in that nature.
