Hmmm that means pulling the HU out! Absolute bugger to get back in!

Oh well if I want the volume........

[tobz.]

Hmmmm bit like the blind leading the blind here

Len have you got your HU wired directly to the battery or just running from the existing dash wiring?
Did you know the 4x60W alpines MUST be wired to the battery due to the high currents they draw?
Although this is unlikely to cause the HU to shutdown it's worth doing to avoid toasty wiring looms.

I would say the cutting out is quite likely due to it simply being a faulty headunit. I have seen this several times in the past, I used to have a kenwood which had a certain volume above which it would simply switch off. It would be interesting to see if the HU switches off when there are no speakers connected to it.

Yes it is connected direct to the battery, with an inline fuse, although the actual cable is not very meaty and have been meaning to run a new cable.

Will try no speakers then and let ya know!

Ok this blind person will shut up and leave. I'll go back to talkaudio were ive helped since 01 and back to the audio forums i moderate.

Snoopy what's ya TA login?

I'm b-chi. Been on there oodles. Try not to take offense mate, not in the Ta spirit.

How are people going to learn if people aren't willing to help. It's very difficult to fault find over an internet forum.

Don't mean to offend anyone with this next comment. But there are a lot of people on this forum (and others I'm sure), who aren't into audio as much as say you and I, or don't have masses of experience, or have even been told diff info by a shop/installer so think that's right. Who wants to be proven wrong? Last comments aren't relating to this thread.

On another point. Were you on the M40/A34 junction last weekend LEN. Saw a blue 5 dr with gold rims.

Following on from tobz point. Try a different HU to see if it still happens.

What Easter weekend? Nah not me! Oh hang on a mo, if was weekend before I was on my way back from Leeds and Charity RR day, on the Sunday about midday. Coming off M40 going south onto the A34. So yea probably was me!

[B-chi]

Yeah that's it.

I got a little excited when I saw it lol.

[Len]

Only a little? 

I wasnt really looking around as thats one of the dodgy junctions where folk get in wrong lane, usually but seems they have changed it and actually improved things!

[Len]

Well one puzzle solved, kind of!
Cutting out does not happen with engine on!
So it must be some kind of power issue.
