Default Stereo problem

I have an '06 C6. It has the optional Nav-Bose stereo unit. Most of the time it works well but lately my left speaker will not work-no sound, then it will come back and sound fine.
Doesn't matter if I'm playing a CD or FM. Acts like a loose speaker wire, but before I tear into it- any ideas. Thanks in advance.

It does it as soon as I turn it on at times, so I don't think it would be overheated yet?

Then it does sound like a loose connection...probably best to start inside the door, but of course, the loose connection could be anywhere in the system. You didn't say which left speaker...I believe the woofer has the amp in the door but not the midrange speaker.

I have the exact same problem on my '07. Hoping this is a somewhat common problem as I don't want to tear the whole car apart to find it. But, given enough frustration, I guess I just may tear into it, starting with the door of course.
