wiring into XM tuner box keeps getting loose..

Hey all, I have a recurring problem with my XM tuner box in my 2000 SE. I have isolated the problem to the tuner box wires (the ones going into the box from the HU). The wires are still connected to the box but I keep getting one channel to cut out. The wires are all still connected but I have to wiggle them to get both channels. I have mounted the box in numerous places but it only lasts for a couple days or a couple bumps till I am down to 1 channel again! This is the second box I have had this problem with. Where are yall putting the tuner boxes so that the cables dont get loose from bumps?

What brand radio/XM do you have?

Nothing in particular I have in mind, just that Terk products arent the greatest, and Ive swapped out a lot more of those with problems than I have of others.
