Front passenger speakers cutting out on turns and bumps

A few months ago (soon after i installed a stiffer suspension) in my 2003 max the front passenger speakers have been cutting out and back in on sharp steering wheel movements and turns as well as bumps. At this point half of the the time it plays out of the front passenger speakers, and half the time both the front pass tweeter and bass (the one in the door) have no sound.

I have an aftermarket Panasonic head unit and everything else is stock Bose. I used that metra harness for the HU, and I think I did a solid job with the soldering (used shrinkwrap too) so my guess is that most likely the problem is not at the harness / HU. Btw, everything worked great for over a year after I installed the aftermarket HU.

I'm somewhat of a noob when it comes to audio, so I have no clue where to look for the loose connection. I have no idea where anything is located. I thought of pulling off the door panel and looking at the connections directly on the speaker, but i think the key here is that it's both the tweeter and the bass.

Any ideas? Advice?

Thanks

Your guess is as good as ours. Time to start taking things apart and getting your hands dirty. Even though you're confident in your install job, I would still start at the HU.

i will go from the esay things first like taking the door panel off and check the speakers see if the coil wires are good and and then go to the head unit next just shake things around you will find it
