I have a very strange amp problem apparently unlike most other peoples.

My driver's side speaker only cuts in and out when I use the CD changer. For radio it work fine 100% of the time. Even with this evidence, the fool that I am... I shotgun replaced all the capacitors int eh bose amp on the left hand side. The problem didn't go away. My only other guess is that there is an issue with either the head unit or the changer itself. I'd like to borrow someone else's CD changer for a bit to test if the changer is broken or not... anyone else have similar problem?
 
I would say that the connection between the CD player and the head unit has a fault in it. Track down all the connectors and see if you have a loose one or even a broken wire. The ETM will show you where the connectors are and which wires carry the respective audio channel.
