head unit keeps switching its self off!! doing my head in!!

[BobbyT]

Hi, i am having trouble with the head unit in my mk1 golf gti! i have put in a jvc camilion head unit which i had in my last car, every time i turn it up to about 23 on a cd and about 24 on the radio it turns its self off and then comes on and then cuts out and this continues until you trun it down, now it seems to be getting worse, some times even level 19 on the radio will cut it out! its doing my head in, it worked fine in my last car! i have some jvc 6 by 9 s in the back and the standard poo speakers in the front! any ideas?? cheers rob

its the wires at the back of the sterio. happend with my sony once.

go to halfords and buy new cable. then refund your sh!tty cable.

Either you are not getting enough current from the power wire, or the head unit is cutting out due to overheating or over current in the amp output stage. beef up the power supply wire. Check all speakers are 4ohm impedance, and maybe beef up the wiring on the 6x9s

i changed the wire to the 6 be 9's, its well chunky! so you think it could be the power wire?

[Mr Blue]

Beef up the power wire at least.

[BobbyT]

[Mr Blue]
