K, so for some reason all of a sudden, my system is ok when I am parked sometimes and bump the stereo. But if I turn it up to 20 (when I used to be able to do it) the deck cuts out and then turns back on. The higher I turn it up, the more often it turns off. I tried to check the amp, cuz last time it was a fuse that connected to my car battery, and the amp was fine.

Anyone have this problem or know what it might be? It is really irritating. Happen more often when I am driving and I am not even hitting bumps or anything. It just started happening like 2 days ago.

check all the wires to make sure its not grounded out somewhere or if you have a wire that has worked its way loose. that maybe the cause

Oh, well guess what>? Now my car won't start.


Once I ran the stereo without the car on and the same thing happened. It turned off and on. When I went to start the car, it didn't start. Then I got lucky and the car started. I let it run for an hour parked and drove it for 30 minutes to let the alternator charge it up. So here it is, going off and on again. After switching fuses in the amp, I go to start the car and once it barely wanted to turn on. Then now, it won't turn on. THere is power throughout the car, because no battery light comes on, I can still operate the windows and the stereo still works.

This is crap! How the hell do I fix this? The battery I bought this year. So I guess now, it could be the alternator (which is what I am guessing), and probably now my spark plugs (owned my car for almost 4 years and never changed them like a dumb ass) and possibly a starter now.

I cannot believe this.................... Car systems do hook up to the positive terminal on a battery correct? I have mine on it, but I didn't hook it up and barely started having problems after 2 years.
