Question

Okay... Here is the dealio. I have installed an amp relay dictly to the batteries. I have a brand new everstart battery up front. A brand new Stinger yellow top in the back with [2 caps on it (fairly usuless but look cool haha)]. I have just about the biggest wire i can find anywhere on every part of my sytem. I have excellent grounds, and my voltage does not drop bellow 11.8 at high volumes. My deck is less than 4 months old. The gains on my amps are set at < 1/4. with bass boost all the way down. i keep all eq moderately set, and sub level at less than 6/15.

This being said. I can not figure out why my sytem stops playing for a few seconds when turned up loud. When cranked it will seise to play music for a couple seconds at a time. The amps do not shut off and niether does the cd player. Although sometimes the cd play will read an error, and i have to take the cd out and put it back it for it to play again. I have no clue what it is doing. And no shop in town can offer me any advice.

I thought my HU just needed cleaning or something. i tried it with no possitive results.

I tell you what. If you can offer some suggestions that will fix this. i will say Canadians are BADASS! [img]graemlins/bow.gif[/img]

For your deck.. is the constant power wire and ground wired directly to your battery? I know that was a big problem for my car expecially with alpine decks..

What did the deck do/ what were its simptoms when it had bad power or ground? The lights on the deck do not dim or anything. And it nevers shuts off. Nothing "powers down", it just stops making music for a second or two.

check the numbers on your track time to see if it skipping
or run a set of rca's from a different car to see if it is your amps or cd player
if it is your cd check your track numbers to see if it skips

Turn off the Power IC (in the menu -&gt; setup-&gt; Power IC - on ~ off ) and try just running the sub at the louder volumes and see if it still cuts out. There may be a problem with your V-Drive. I do recommend (as was earlier stated) wire the constant and ground direct. I had to do it with my 9833 and used the same harness when I swapped to my 9835. I also added a cpu fan due to heat issues because of the trucks heating ducts running DIRECTLY behind the heatsink (almost touching).

I have noticed this. The cd is not skipping because the seconds on the track timer keep ticking.

It could possibly be something to do with the remote wire, because i have it ran to a relay that turns on all 4 amps. But i thought that having a relay would solve that problem.. soo. idk

Bad RCA? I kind of ruled that out because i have 2 pair running to the back. 1 that splits off to the 3 sub amps and then one that goes to my high amp. All the amps stop making sound at the exact same time.
