Default Stereo is being gay!

I have an mp30 head unit, some speakers in the front (not sure what they are they came with it) and some standard back speakers with a Vibe Active 10 inch sub in the back!

It has been fine till today when suddenly the speakers went dead and you could only hear the bass through the sub, sometimes they will flick back on but then sometimes they go off again! I have tried it with Radio also so it isnt the CD jumping

After yesterday I am not gonna touch any wiring but just wondered if anybody knew what it could be and how much Halfrauds will charge to fix it?

Yeah I got it Did you not get my PM?

I will take it out in a minute to have a look but I am scared of setting the car on fire with my dodgy wiring so I may have to wait for a pro

Just basicly said thanks a lot I got it and I appreciate it

Would halfords deal with old cars if I didnt get the stereo from there and it isnt a simple ISO connector?

The power is all ok it is just the speakers I think

The Iso cable was the one I was using ZS!

I basicly cut the end connectors off and joined the colours up on the Escort (purple, purple with black) etc
