> I Have a 350z and I love it, however, two days ago I’ve come to randomly notice that the left speakers are not functioning properly. Both the right side and the subwoofer work fine, and you can hardly notice when its all working together. I have tried setting the balance all the way to the left and they just seem to be spurting out bits and pieces of the sound they are supposed to. Im good at wiring/electronics and I can start troubleshooting, but before I dig in there Im just curious if anyone else had this problem, or if its a regular problem, or if anyone else had this happen to them ever at all ?

Well i tried to reply but i must have timed out so I will try again.

So ya i had this problem as well. I have a 2004ZR. It only happend a few times and then i ended up swapping out all the OEM audio for aftermarket stuff. So when it did happen i hit the dash a few times in frustration and yo and behold it was ok again. I was going to take it in under warranty. I paid like 1500 for extra warranty that included the audio but as said above I swapped everything out so…

You could maybe try taking the head unit out without unplugging and give it some jarring to see if its a loose connection inside. The dash comes apart pretty easy once you know where the screws and stuff are. I installed my CF dash and had to take everything out including taking the flip up door completely apart. As Xuper Xero says my350z forum uder the audio and DIY section will have some links and ref to taking the dash out.

Good luck
