Just a thought here, but most high power car radios (and some not so
high...) *do not* have a chassis ground return for the speakers. If
either of the speaker "ground" leads makes contact with chassis ground,
you will get results similar to what you describe.

I have not yet received my service manual, so I cannot confirm that this
is the case with the OEM radio.

                My 93 did the same type of thing it would sound real
bland then all of a
                sudden it would sound great. I replaced it with my sony
last weekend and it
                still sounds just as bland when i get a chance i'm going
to check out all
                the wiring for the speakers i think the problem might be
in there
                somewhere...
