My speakers stopped working! HELP!

I have a 2005 special edition Mazda 3 with Bose stereo. Haven't had any problems with it until just recently the sound stopped coming through the speakers. Every once in a while sound will come through for like 5 seconds and then quit again, no crackling, just on or off. The CD player & radio still register as if they're working (can switch tracks & channels) just no sound will come through. Any ideas before I pay a nut to take it to the dealer??? THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

It sounds like the stereo is having a power supply issue. I would say it is one of three things...either the entire head unit is going out (very unlikely), a grounding issue / power wire issue (not too likely unless you've been in the wiring recently), or a severed wire.

yeah, i'd check the wiring under your driver's seat.
