Amp/speaker/deck problem question

I am having issues with all four of my speakers playing at the same time. Here is the deal. When I hooked my amp to the speakers only one side/channel would play. Its a two way amp, and I have four lines running on it(one for each speaker). I have run two sets of RCA's, and I still have the same problem. I have put in another amp and I still have the same problem. I pulled the deck out last night and when I wiggle the RCA's around I can get both channels to play at the same time, but it just cuts back out. I assume this means the RCA jacks have gone to crap on my deck. Anyone have experience with this? Am I on the right track? I was going to have two more female RCA's soldered onto the circut board. Am I missing something I should be checking? Thanks for any help.

Try new RCA's first. It could be a bad RCA cable. Probably not, but definitely give it a shot before soldering new RCA's to your headunit.

Agreed, that was going to be my suggestion.

That's what I was saying. I guess I was not clear on it. I have tried three different sets of RCA cables. They all do the same thing. Its on the top channel off the top of the deck. I can switch the red and white cables, and which ever one is in the lower RCA jack, is the one that plays the music. Which ever RCA cable is in the top jack it will not play.
