Just thinking out loud here so bear with me. Not sure about the radio and amp unless your alternator or battery is going bad which on some older vehicles I've owned causes lights and just strange stuff to happen like you've experienced.

As far as the speedo and brake lights I would maybe look at the speed sensor and see if it's wet or the connection is loose.

Just a few thoughts.
