My car radio is messed up! Help!!!?

Question

I don't know what is up with my radio but everytime I turn it up loud it shuts off...like my car can't take it. I asked many people who are supposedly "car geniuses" but they couldn't figure it out.

Can someone please tell my why my radio does this and how to fix it. It's a kenwood car radio and it's new-ish...i got it 2 years ago for x-mas, and installed last year january. Please help me out with this...it gets annoying when I can't turn up my radio so loud.

Answer 1

It sounds like the remote wire that runs from your amp to the back of your radio. It will be a blue wire. The same thing happened to me and everything looked okay. The problem was the wire wasn't stripped good at the ends and didn't get a good connection.

Answer 2

Sounds like a short or bad connection.  Take it to a professional - that would be the best thing for a high quality radio receiver like a Kenwood.

Answer 3

you dont really give use much info of your set up if you just have a cd player and no subs or amps then i would double check you wiring of the head unit and make sure you have the proper fuse size also

or just sell that one use the money to buy a new 1 and usually were you go they will install it for free so if it still  does it you know its somethingtotally different
