Is this a new installation (has this problem always existed or has it just recently started)? The wire could be pinched or simply too small and too long without noticing it audibly, then again the speaker could be blown or shorted but most times you can hear a difference when that happens. |
Bronze Member Username: Fuji905On Canada Post Number: 55 Registered: Feb-07 | Sounds great until it kicks out. Just recently hooked up the rear speakers and that's when my problem started. Somedays it pumps for a long time, no issue, other times it kicks out within a few minutes. I think I'll try some thicker cable, only running cheap stuff for now. Any suggestions? |
