Default Monsoon Acting a fool. Help needed

The system in my 01 Formula recently starting doing some crazy shiate. All speakers work but it is like the volume swells up and then goes down really fast. Its hard to explain. Pretend someone has their fingers on the volume **** and continues to turn it up really fast and back down over and over and over.....

I removed the factory amp and checked for loose wires but found nothing. I don't know if the amp is going bad, the radio unit itself is acting up or if maybe I have a loose wire/bad ground somewhere. Anybody else have similiar problems?

Thanks,
Matt

Thats a relief. I am replacing the stock unit with an Alpine so maybe that will solve the problem. Thanks
