    Bose radio help please!?!?!?!

    2001.5 S4 Bose

    A couple of months ago i replaced the bose symphony head unit with a sony head unit using the metra kit below.

    Everything worked perfectly fine for about 2 months then the bose amp randomnly stopped working and only the drivers side cell phone speaker was working. I took out the head unit, check all connections everything was fine. speakers still wouldnt work. Then the next day everything worked fine again. Everything worked fine for a couple days, bose amp worked, all speakers worked, my added amp and subs worked fine. Then i get in the car today and the bose amp, aftermarket amp and all speakers arent working. Go around a tight turn on an exit ramp and everything works again.

    I know all the connections behind the headunit are good.
    Does anyone have any idea what other connections could be loose that are causing the bose amp to crap in and out? The pin connector into the amp in the truck is securely in. Does the bose amp have its own ground wire/strap that could be loose???? The weird thing is that when ever the bose amp craps out so does my aftermarket amp. It seems to be that there is a problem with the remote wire and it is not telling the amps to turn on, but i check the conections and they are fine. Its just weird that everything worked fine from christmas till last week.
    Thanks in advance

    does your radio stay on throughout all of this ? if so it may be a problem with the remote turn on, if you have the bose amp turn on and your sub amp turn on run through the same blue/white wire from the h/u. to me it seems as if it could be the only thing connecting the two separate components together
