Any ideas?
your speakers maybe out of phase.. you may have your positive and negatives mixed up on the if you have them amped.. try changing them around on the amp instead of pulling your door panels.. if you have components with crossovers then you might have to pull off the door panels

The radio is the Stock BOSE HU. The speakers are all stock. The system was a Stock Bose Setup for a Touring 04.

Things I did for Bass. I installed 4 Gauge Wiring for Ground and Power. I ran my RCA Cables using a PAC-OEM 1 Adapter that plugs into the back of the Stock HU and the Stock HU plugs into the adapter. This gives me 4 rc Jacks 2 for rear 2 for front. I have the 1000 Watt Amp Bridged using the rear RC Jacks and pumping a 10" solarberic L7 Speaker. The system sounds good, however if I put my ear close the the left side I am not getting any sound infact it sounds like it cuts in and out sounds like poop. If I change my balance settings to only here the left side I get a bass from the woofer but no highs from the stock speakers. If I go to the Right I get clear sound from speakers and woofer.

I hope I have given you guys enough info here, as your being so helpful. I really do appreciate it!

Symptoms sound like one of the common problems with the stock Bose HU. I had that problem with mine when the weather got warmer.

That may be your problem and it is just coincidental that it started at the same time as the rest.

Quick test... does the left side work on radio?

The HU problem seems to only effect the CD.

+1

If youve checked your rca connections there's not too many more things that can cause this besides a bad PAC unit or a bad RCA cable. out of all three my guess (and it is a guess at this point) would be a bad RCA cable if the behavior is the same on CD and radio

I dont have the stock speakers running off a RCA Cable. I tried unplugging the Pac adapter and I got the same thing. Radio/CD/IPod Tape adapter do the same thing.

right right, this is a stock setup as far as front and rears speakers go, sorry lots stuff happening at work today ... lemme think on this one

Unless the stock bose amps handle right and left as opposed to front and rear (which I doubt) the headunit must be the bad component.

Im not 100% sure though so maybe some other members can shed some light on this issue

I guess as a test i can take a working speaker and swap it for 1 of the left side speakers. If I get sound then the speakers are blown if I dont get sound I have a problem with the HU rite?!

Sure could. But even if you get no sound that only narrows it down to the headunit or the bose amp. But it's a start

Never knew the HU could stop sending signal just to the left side, it sounds almost like the wires are touching because it cuts in and out. I'll have to pull the radio out. Also didnt know the speakers had a Stock AMP. I know the Sub did, didnt know the speakers though.

As it turns out, it is the HU or so I think. The left side speakers do not work when the CD player is used. They do however work in Radio and the Tape Deck/IPOD.

If you are still under warranty get the dealer to replace it.

They changed mine despite me having a full aftermarket stsyem in the car.

Never had the problem again.

Just an update to this. The stereo was covered under warranty and was replaced.
