sometimes when i turn my deck up really loud my speakers start cutting out and then they reset themselves and go back on but 2 seconds later they shut off again, my sub remains on and pounding, only the speakers cut out.
it works fine with regular use, but when i crank it it starts ****ing up, whats goin on?

What HU do you have and how many speakers are connected? Are you running a lower then 4 ohm impedence on the any one of the channels? Sounds like the amp circuit is cutting out on your HU.

i ran into this problem once in a 94 pathfinder. Turns out that the deck power had been running the speakers as well as an amplifier. Which when you would turn the h/u up the amp would turn up. The power from the H/U and amp would backfeed into eachother which would put the amp into protection. That may be the problem but from what it sounds like you don't have any amped speakers. Just a suggestion though

sounds like too much load on the HU's internal amplifier to me

I'm guessing you have the speakers hooked up to your HU's internal amp and rca's to your subs amp?

I've renamed the subject... no need for that sort of language.
