Only one set of speakers working. Bumps cause all to work.
Only one set of speakers working. Bumps cause all to work. This problem hasn't been ever present but it has gotten worse the longer I've owned the car. Only the speakers right behind the front seats work all the time. The sail panel speakers (Or whatever they're called in the hatch) that provide base seem to come on when they want to but bumps seem to cause them to start playing. The cars shocks are pure **** so I'm not sure if over time connections have gotten knocked loose or if its possibly the shitty Monsoon amp. Any ideas?
This is a 99 SS with the Monsoon 6 speaker system.

I doubt that the amp in your eight speaker Monsoon system is the source of the problem since all eight speakers run off the same amp (if it was cutting out then likely all speakers would shut off at the same time). The sail panel subs (next to the rear seat) provide all the bass and the little 4" speakers in the hatch area provide only rear fill.
I would check the connections at the individual speakers. The hatch speakers are easy to reach by just pulling out the plastic trim panels. The sail panel subs are also easy because they can be accessed by just popping the grilles. The door components are somewhat more difficult because the door trim panel must be removed but even that isn't a big job.
