Default Headunit help

need some help boys. installed a kenwood excelon unit the IS about 2 weeks ago and everything works great the sound quality is better. the only problem i have is that everyonce in a while it seems like the left speakers will become weak and sometimes even cut out for a short amount of time but always coming back on after a few seconds. my only thought was that maybe that i hooked up the RCAS wrong with the TYT01 harness that i purchased. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. ~Nick

that's all that comes to mind here as well. The TYTO1 is pretty hard to mess up.
