Default speaker working intermittently

I noticed my left front speakers go out intermittently, like when going over railroad tracks. Not the whole channel, just the high and low frequencies. it's like the tweeter and woofer go out, but the midrange stays on. Confirmed when I set the fader 100% to the front, then go from left to right on balance. I figure a loose wire? bad crossover? I have the premium package, but not ML. Any suggestions where to start looking for the problem? I recently unplugged the radio when i had to tear the center console apart, But i would assume if it's that the whole channel would go out, not just the high and low ends.

Assuming the head unit sends a digital signal to the amplifier my best guess is bad solder joints on the amp. If not too difficult I would double check the connectors on the head unit.

If this symptom started after you removed and replaced the radio then it is related to a problem with your re-installation. Re-check all the connections and related stuff that may have been accidently affected.
