Clarion speaker sound fluctuates

[Two Peas]

The sound from the right speakers (front & rear) fluctuates on both TV and radio - does not sound like a loose connection (static), but more of a drop in sound - then returns to normal sound. Thoughts? 2016 26U

It's likely that the problem is either:
1. A loose connection exterior to the amp, or
2. A faulty right-side channel in the amp.

Since you're covered, you should bring it back to the dealer and let them deal with it. If you're handy and you would like to save yourself a trip to the dealer, I'd double check the connections at the back of the amplifier.

I'd probably just pull the unit real quick before going through the hassle of towing it back to the dealer. There is a little tool that came in the box that was in your airstream with the faceplate case. It looks like a little metal shim, use that to pull the radio and check the wires in the back.

If you don't see anything also pull down the speakers and make sure there is nothing shorting the terminals out, like a scrap of aluminum. You get the covers off the speakers by taking a small screwdriver or tool and popping the grill out (clarion) and then unscrew the speaker and it will drop down.

I had one that was buzzing and it was just a whole bunch of wood chips that fell down into the speaker. It's about a 5 minute job each speaker, far easier than towing back to the dealer.
