My bass has started dropping out at seamingly random times. The only predictable time it does it is when I take a fairly sharp curve or turn. Sometimes it drops when not turning though.
Please help!!!

Can you be abit more specific on the "Bass dropping out". Is it still there but low volume, is it gone, totally...? Do you have a DMM? ...Maybe... Mr. I or Howie could sit in the trunk while manuvering around Sharp curves...?

Is your subwoofer and/or the amp sliding around in your trunk?  Have you gone over every single connection in the entire system checking for tightness?  Have you checked your system voltage to make sure it is not dropping too low?  Check these things first and let us know.

I think it's dropping out all the way. I'll try to notice more. It's not sliding around. I doubt it would be the voltage, as I keep it turned down really low because I have a two year old in the back seat 95% of the time. I'll try to check the connections, are there any that are more likely to get loose than others?
Anything else it could be? By DMM do you mean a digital multi-meter or does that stand for something else too?

The wires that are most likley to get loose would be either the power, the ground, the remote, or a speaker wire. If it is none of them check the RCAs to make sure they are tight.
Make sure you check the ground, power, remote, speaker wires and RCAs on both ends.
Oh wait, that is all the wires, isn't it? Well, most likely, it is at least one of those!

Where do you have it grounded at? It could be the your ground wire has come loose and driving makes the body of the car moving allowing it to not make good contact.

I had an old chevy s10 do that to me, it ended up being low on power steering fluid, which caused a strain on the engine when turning. Check the voltage at both the amp and battery connections, have someone turn the wheel lock to lock and see if the voltage fluctuates alot. worth a shot! bass drops out when turning. - Last Post -- posted image.
