Problem With Stereo

[Killa33 Skyline]

Hey all :wavey:

Got a problem with my stereo, everytime i turn it up (to decent volume) the speakers cut out. I have a JVC headunit, splits in front, 6X9's in rear which run off 1 amp, a inline fuse which has volt reader and spliter from single to twin and Pioneer sub that runs off another amp. I've tried replacing the remote wire for the speakers amp, didn't work. I've tried swapping with a different amp, didn't work. It's only the speakers that cut out, can still here the sub thumping away. Was considering redoing the wiring for the amp next, does anyone have any other suggestions to my problem.

hey man have you tried just running the 6 by 9's by itself and see if it cuts out.. or just the splits by it self.

Most likely your fuse and/or cable isn't large enough for the amp to run at full capacity(which is why it works on lower volume).

Check the connection is secure on the power line splitter also.

Yeh at the moment i only have the 6X9's running through the amp, still got the same problem.

Cheers mate will check it out when i get back home.

is your 4 channel amp overheating (thermal overload)? touch it they can get ridiculously hot after a good thrashing

+1 for thermal overload.

Also, what grounding have you got on the effected Amp??

Remember, dont ground 2 amps at the same point, use 2 different grounding points, make sure they both have strong contact points, and the cable is sufficient.

Not sure, but even first thing it still cuts out.

Will have a look at this as, cable should be sufficient for ground. but i think they may be earthed out to the same point of contact.
