Default '94 DX - Stock Radio/Speakers Issue

My radio was working just fine, then one day, the back speakers all of a sudden stopped working. I was lazy and just decided to drive with no radio.

3 months later they all of a sudden work again. Except for one thing...

When I turn my steering wheel to the right - the speaker either cuts in and out or goes off completely (depending upon how far I turn the wheel.) When I'm going straight, or left, it's just fine.

So any thoughts? What's wrong? My car isn't going Democrat is it? I might have to sell it then :\

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like a short somewhere. But the system is 18 years old. Might be time to consider replacing it. Just a thought.
It was a pretty easy swap in my 94 DX hatch (but I don't have rear speakers though)

Loose wire where at? I'm very unfamiliar with the electrical system as a whole.

Take the radio out of the dash leaving wires connected, set fader all the way to rear, and shake the radio as it plays. If it cuts in and out it is almost certainly the radio itself, replace it.
