ok so i have a 1998 cavalier and a while ago i installed new front speakers(brand new jbl4x6) and a couple days later i would turn up the volume loud and my deck would shut off. i have tryed getting a different deck and i cant seem to figure out why this happens? and these jbl speakers are most efficent then the older ones. and now i replaced the back ones and its still the same.

Are they 4ohm speakers? I know some speakers are 2ohms... that could be causing your HU to go into protect.

check your wiring and check the speaker impedance as mentioned

Providing that none of your speakers are shorting out anywhere.....and I do not see any mention of an amp..... I have seen this many times with cavaliers and sunbirds .

Wiring in those cars suc s , deck is probably starving for power when you turn the volume up.

remedy: new power sources for deck including ground.
