I have a g35x and have a pioneer avic z1. Why does my front right speaker now turn on and off when i make sharp turns and go over bumps. It will come off and come back on. I have no idea why this is happening. It never did it before. Cold weather/winter have something to do with it. How do i fix this?

Where? Is it behind the HU or is it in the door panel speaker? I want to remove it all and try and find the problem. Why does it come back on sometimes right after. Its very wierd.

Could be anywhere. Could also be a bad speaker in the right location. I'd start there: check the connections at the speaker, if they are good, pull the speaker. Try swapping it with the left one. If the problem moves to the left, you have a bad speaker. If it stays on the right and you're sure the connections are good (and that there are no pinched or broken wires) then check the connections at the HU. Good luck.

How long ago did you install the pioneer deck? Are there aftermarket speakers in the door? I would look behind the deck first.

I have had the pioneer unit for a year now about. The speakers are stock. That does sound like a idea, swap the speakers and see if it moves to the left side. I highly doubt its the speaker because on some days or driving for awhile the music will play fine with no speaker going off. Sometimes also when the speaker comes off, I would press the volume button up and it would come back on immedialty.
