    Stereo acting up: fine when motionless, spazzes when driving

    Howdy folks,

    for some reason my stereo has been acting up lately. I have:

    -Alpine MRP-F320 amp
    -Helix 2-way components
    -JL 6w04
    -Navone LOC

    When the engine is off or car is idle at a light, the stereo operates perfectly. However, when the car begins to move or when riding over lane bumps the passenger side mid and tweet will simply cut out or begin making some crackly noises. A few seconds later it'll work fine again and then spazzes back out. Sometimes the bass becomes erratic and hits harder than the current setting.

    I'm quite positive that it has nothing to do with wires being loose as everything was nice and tight before the interior trim panels were replaced. Crossovers and LOC are mounted on the amp. Could screwing down the empty slots on the crossover be affecting something? This is all too weird... when I'm parked it plays just fine!! WTF is going on mayn!

    you sure you chedked about the wires being out of plce, becuase my friend had a similar problem, when you move the wires move, and that could be causing this situation .

    I'll double check again (removing interior panels is a bitch) but it cuts out even going at a slow speed over a flat road.

    The tweeter was epoxied on and some of it may have bridged or touched the wiring. Could this be a problem? I basically didn't feel like taking my door panel off just yet so I went ghetto style and mounted them over the mids. The sound stage isn't as low as I expected and sounds fine for me since I angled them.
