How to fix speakers on my radio?
So, I have this $40 Jenson radio cd player given to me as a gift back on Christmas. It is a nice and cute-looking radio that plays very loud almost at boombox levels, the sound is more than room-filling at maximum volume. It is an AM/FM radio with cd player and aux. No Bluetooth but I can connect a Bluetooth receiver into the aux and make it work that way. As for the speakers, sometimes only one works while the other is silent. When that happens, I have to bump the radio a little with my hand, and usually, that gets the other speaker to work as well. With 2 speakers working, the radio works wonders. With just 1 speaker working, it is not as enjoyable. How do I get a permanent fix to this issue?

You have a loose connection which needs to be firmed. It may be a wire or a plug not making good contact, or shorting against other metal things. The pix was not in the post when I first responded, so I didn't know it was a boombox instead of a car stereo, especially since you posted in car audio and not consumer electronics. You have a defective stereo which needs to be exchanged for a good one. You can refer back to the vendor, and if they give you no joy, refer to the manufacturer to honor their warranty for parts and workmanship.
Somebody is sure going to miss giving me 4 thumbs downs on every reply I post for a year after this site goes down. Where is he going to stick those 4 thumbs? That will be his nasty problem.

There is a loose wiring connection inside at the amp or at the speaker. There is no fix except to tear it down which you really do not want to do. Just keep tapping for now.
