Fitted an amp and sub the other day and it all worked fine. Just now all of a sudden the other 4 speakers running off the head unit have all stopped working. had a look at hte connections on the back of the head unit and they all looked fine. But then i went to open my electric window and they started working again. Basically i have to hold down the electric window button to get my speakers to work. What the fcuk have i done!

rite so you think the speaker terminals may be touching metal in the front doors? Supppose when i move the window up and down it knocks it slightly back into place. Makes sense i think!
