problem with factory radio

Having a problem with my factory radio. When at very lows volume plays fine when the volume is turned up even just a little bit the radio loses its volume powers still on just no volume turn power off a couple times comes back on but does the same as before. Factory 99 radio

Sounds like you should replace the radio might have a short!

I was thinking the same thing at first but would hate to replace the radio and have the same problem is there any wiring I should check besides the actual harness

none that i'd now of just a short in the radio

well i might have found the problem, i heard some type of pop from the 4x10's and then the radio shut down so im going to disconnect them and see if there is still a problem. Also i might be going crazy but it seems that the more i press on the gas the louder the volume gets, when i release it goes back down

No that's normal it's part of the SCV feature (Speed Controlled Volume) nice feature so that you wont need to turn it up when you go from street driving to highway driving and yes sounds like it may be time to replace those 4x10's i would go kenwood as to how not that many people make 4x10's because of there odd size and population so go kenwood! i bought some cheap aftermarket one's and just hatted them plus they went after 5 months bought some kenwoods still working after 6 months and sound better than the other's
