    Sound cutting out on speakers.

    Hello, I have this issue when I'm playing music, and at a sound intensive part such as at a bass heavy or lound area of the song the music will cut out. So sometimes the music plays then it cuts out at the beat and continues playing. Im not sure if the alternator cannot provide enough energy to power or its a head unit issue.

    Thanks for any input.

    Sounds like you either have poor/loose lower connections, or your battery/alternator isn't putting out enough juice

      Do you think the underdrive pulley on the alternator may be causing it to lose power? Also even an 3/4k rpm, this still happens? It didn't happen before. Sign the alternator is going out?

        There's more than a few causes for that.

        First of all, is all of your system aftermarket? If so, how were the headunit and speakers wired in? Taped together, soldered, butt connectors?

        I've had similar issues in the past with my headunit doing the cutting out. Basically it would get hot from being used and would go into a protection mode so it doesn't fry itself. I've had amps do the same thing. If you pulled the head unit out and touched the heat sink on the rear, you'd leave half your finger behind on it.

        Wiring that is not the proper gauge can also cause you issues. Too much power can melt your wires or cause poor connections.

        What I would suggest is to follow all your wiring from the head unit to all the speakers and visually inspect for any damage or loose connections and repair as necessary. Sometimes it could even just be a bad ground. Make sure all connections are clean and strong.

        How old is the battery and how many amps is it? Same with the alternator. Check your ground connection on the alternator, that has caused me charging issues in the past. Do your lights and electrics dim or slow down when the stereo is on?

        Let us know what you find!

          x3 on the loose connections. Your amp may be going into undervoltage protection whenever the bass hits.

            If it is an aftermarket head unit which is it? Pioneer,Sony, clairion etc dont typically have those issues. Kenwood deck from my personal experience as well a few friends have had issues where the after a year usually from regular use the internal amp starts to give up due to heat.
