Well i have the stock 1997 10 speaker Monsoon Stereo System. When i bought the car the prev. owner (im assuming) screwed the system up itself with his own amp and speakers and probably a deck. Anyways. I have the stock monsoon deck and the stock door speakers and stock hatch speakers. i have the $20 6.5" speakers from Wal mart where the rear seat woofers were and they are wired into the hatch wires (the stock wires ffor the woofers dont work ??). Well 2 days ago my stereo worked (though it has always sounded really crappy) and now when i turn the volume up it goes up then about 2 seconds later it will just turn down and go silent. If i turn it down and then back up it does the same thing. I have replaced the fuses for the radio/aux power/windows and still does the same thing. I have no clue what can be the problem. i have redone all the connections from the speakers and the deck and still same problem. Also the sound was VERY high pitched. Not much bass at all. I need help with this. Please come through for me again fellas and dames.

I'm not exactly an wiring expert, but if you've already changed the fuses... I would look to make sure it's still grounded. Also, check the entire system to make sure wires are secure and making contact. I suppose it's also possible that the deck itself is malfunctioning. Good luck.
