wierd deck problem.
sometimes when i turn my deck up really loud my speakers start cutting out and then they reset themselves and go back on but 2 seconds later they shut off again, my sub remains on and pounding, only the speakers cut out.
it works fine with regular use, but when i crank it it starts ****ing up, whats goin on?

You used the factory harness I assume, for power, ground, etc? I wonder if maybe the ground is not good enough, or maybe the internal amp is drawing too much current, getting a voltage drop, and going into protection mode briefly?

Hmmm. Sounds ok, not too sure. If there is any doubt you can always run a ground of your own elsewhere. I am sure someone else on here will have two cents to chip in on this, I wonder if you can pull the deck, but leave it hooked up, and meter the power wire coming into it to see if it is getting a big voltage drop at full volume. You are always going to be better off running a separate amp in my experience, rather than going with deck power. Always.

i will try to run a new ground and see if that works.
but any other ideas from anyone would be greatly appreciated,.
