Do you have a master switch to select radio or TV or other sound sources? I do and it has almost completely died. Right now I have all sound sources on the same TV terminals, the rest are dead.
When I get a round tuit I'll replace the switch.

Does it just do it on the tv setting .You could try flicking switch mentioned many times to see if it cleans up the contacts.

Check the wires at the speaker. Then on my coach, I would switch the speaker with another one to see if the trouble moves with the spkr

Thanks for the help! the checked the selector box do not think that's the problem. I check speaker connection and the wire from the speaker to a plug going somewhere I found that if i turn the speaker switch in the overhead on and off a bunch of times it will work for a short time and goes off its only the drivers side speaker the passenger side works fine there is only one wire on the switch so i think it might control a relay i don't know what that switch is wired to? I think thats where the problem is

I think you're on to something.
If you have access to the back side of the switch, or can get a small spray nozzle into the area where the contacts are, use some contact cleaner and give it a spray or two.
I've had some good success ( not 100% ) with spraying switches and volume controls.

Here is one I found at Home Depot.
CRC contact cleaner

ya I got the switch loose and there is only two wires on it so I think it must pick a relay but I don't know where the wires go there in a cabinet forgot to mention the switch turns off both front speakers so you can just listen in the back if you want and only one of the two front speakers cuts out the back ons work fine

Your probably right about a multi contact relay or small remote powered speaker switching relay device. Is your entertainment cabinets and devices over the windshield. Often the etainment cabinet inner pods are more easily removable. Hiding coax, ignition to tv disable relay and a general big mess of wiring. Lable and zipstrip all the coax,HDMI or RCA jacks bundles you might have to remove. You often find they didn't insulate very carefully and big source of solar heat. So you might want to spend some time to improve it. While most of my wiring is tidy ,that area looked like they might have used a shovel for entertainment wiring and stuff.
