Default help fixing a few problems radio/ vibrating noise

ok so this has been happening for about a year on and off, its starting to get anoyying, usualy happens when you drive the car for the first time since its cooled off. the radio keeps cuting on and off sometimes it stays off for a min or two and most of the time it goes off and right back on. i kno its not the head unit because 1) i have 4 different head units and it did it with each one, ive switched the radio conv. harness twice for the aftermaket HU. also i noticed that when it goes off for a min or two, my power windows will not go up or down. but when te radios working they work fine. im guessing a bad connection somewhere but i have no idea where and what wires these are tied into.

also i have been having a clunking issue, just started, its only when ur goin from a complete stop to start or if your on the gass all the way its like a combo vibrating/clunk noise at higher mph it goes away, its only when in wot or when u first start off, feels like maybe a trans mount, or driveshaft or rear end/ suspension issue. i m going to get under the car and check the trans mount, just havent yet since all the rain we've gotten, i just want to get some opinions. the clunk is spead out when it makes it not fast and does about 3 times then stops after u get up to like 15 mph

I would say the clunk is most likely a tranny mount, possibly a broken torque arm mount

As far as the radio goes, sounds like one of the wires in the circut is grounding out. Really need to find a wiring diagram to figure that out....good luck man.
