Hey guys first time posting here so go easy [img]smile.gif[/img] . well I recently installed my new system and now im getting some funked up problems. First i'll list what I have.

Alpine cda-9807 HU
Alpine 500watt mono amp
Alpine 200watt 4-chan amp
Alpine 6.5 coax (rear)
Alpine 6.5 component (front)
2 Clarion Power subs
and a 1000watt cap for the mono

Everything i have hooked up have 12 gauge power wiring and i have a 4 gauge power wire leading to the back to a dib bloack for the amps.

Now just in the past month my speakers seem to but out every once in a while when i turn the volume up past around 14-18. The subs still pound but the speakers cut out and quite frequently too. I have tried a ton of things including grounds and magnetic issues and cant quite figure out what the problem is besides the deck because its a power handling issue.

Agreed, check your door speaker mounting, the speakers may have "shifted" themselves over time, and with vibration, g-force(tight turns), the speaker terminals may be too close too the door chassis.
If those connections are safe, look for a pinched speaker wire.

Well thanks for the ground tip, I belive it was one of my rear speakers touching my trunk spring and grounding there. Once again thanks guys.
