On my wifes firebird there is a problem with the radio, as soon as you drive for a minute the volume goes down and as I turn up the volume it works for a second then goes right back to the same thing. I hooked up another radio last night and it has the same problem. Any idea what this could be. It has the stock radio and has 2 added speakers in the back for a total of 6 speakers.

And if it helps the rear in the hatch area speakers are tied into the rear speakers.

I think it is fixed one of the rear speakers was grounding out shorting out the radio. Thanks for the help guys
