audio problem

[DanThaMan]

Sound only comes out of my right rear speaker unless I turn the music way up. I found this guy back behind the trunk trim, I asume it's a factory amp.

Here's the weird part, I unplugged the amp and my front speakers started working normally, then I plugged it back in and all the speakers started working normally. then five minutes later it was back to playing only out of the right rear speaker.
Any Ideas as to what might be causing this and is there any way around the factory amp?
thanks

assuming this is on an s13.. i know on the s14 they are a PITA and always go bad. just bypass it. im sure you can find a write up on it somewhere. it may say what wires are what if you take it apart and look at the circuit board. good luck

yeah, my bad it is on an s13...thanks man, I probably will just bypass since I'm redoing me interior anyway. I was just curious if anyone has ever ran into this before

it's easy to bypass the amp and it actually sounds better without the factory amp, I had to do this on one of my old cars just look it up there is alot of threads on bypassing the factory amp
