Hey guys. Firstly when it come to car stereos i have zero knowledge about it, other than i need to have music while im driving or i just feel weird . So i went to start up my car today and the radio does not work it seems. The radio seems to turn on, but there is no sound. the rear passenger side speaker seems to make two thumping sounds as soon as you try to turn on the radio and even does it if the radio is off when i start the car. I tried to take a video of it, the thumps are pretty audible. Is this a blown speaker? or and electrical issue? I really have no clue when it comes to stereos so i apologize if its something obvious. Thanks.

It's possible that it's the amp that has blown

That sorta seems to make sense as the thumping sound comes from the rear passengers side, isn't that where the amp is located?

It's gotten strange though. Last night i went out to get coffee and was not working when i left the house. After i turned the car off and went in the coffee shop for 5 mins and came back out it worked first try when i started the car back up. Today it wasnt working again when i started it up this morning. I went into a store for 10-15 mins after the car was warmed up and then the radio was working once i came back out. It seems like it wants to work if i warm the car up then turn it off for ~15 mins and let sit then turn it back on again and everythings working fine. confused.

Seems like the factory amp (located in the trunk under the passenger side plastic cover) is going out or hitting its "protection" mode. Check for moisture in that area or under the amp.
