Jobbie Nooner and a Stereo Problem..
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
We went out to Jobbie Nooner on Friday. Despite the rain and 67 deg weather, it was a good time. There was probably a few thousand people out there.
I recently purchased a Sony Xplod Marine Stereo for my tantrum. This was to replace the old Pioneer car stereo it came with. After working fine for a few hours the stereo began to shut off and turn on again. At first it was once every 5 minutes, now it is every 5 seconds. This pretty much ended the show that was going on at the rear of the boat^. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Had the same problem with the Pioneer radio every once in a while, that's why it was repaced.

Are you running amps? Sounds like you are overheating or overloading whatever is powering your speakers. Either that or something is wired wrong, maybe too many speakers per channel dropping ohm load etc.

My explodes about five years old,started doing the same thing last year, now the volume on the wired remote stopped working, a buddy with the same exact set up had the same problems. I guess its time for some upgrades for us. Holiday w/ends coming get er done. Good Luck

is your amp shutting off, or is the head unit turning off? As mentioned, use a volt meter and see what the voltage at whatever is cutting off is. If the voltage drops below 12, that will cause either to shut down.
Let us know what you find, and I can make recommendations to correct it. Don't buy any new equipment yet, unless you just want the excuse to do so

I have a "Kenetic" marine grade battery. Dont need caps. Running over 5200 watts in the Sonic. Zero gauage power cable from the engine room to the amps up front. 4 Guage from the "D Blocks" to the amps. No problems, but I can also pull in 3 other batteries also if needed. All Alpine & Kicker stuff.
