i have a jenson phase linear radio hooked up to 2 memphis audio fifteens and a memphis audio amp and the radio has a safety feature that makes it cut off if something is not right. i have already replace every wire(ground, power, remote..everything) and i have replaced the factory wiring harness in my vehicle and the fuse is good, but it continues to cut off. it is not the radio because when the amp is unhooked the radio plays fine. and i also have it a compacitor,,but it is charged. what can be my problem?

  1. something is messed up if it keeps cutting out  try the ground  


  2. the interior speakers cannot take the power of the radio, does it cut off at high vol. but play at low vol.???is the remote wire hooked to the antenna wire is the dimmer wire connected and what amperage is the in-line fuse use a 100 watt,,,

  3. DO you have the amp wire directly to the battery (with fuse) or to the stereo.

    If it’s wired through the stereo, it's the power draw when the amp in on. It’s a protection thing.

    Wire the amp to the battery  and have a good clean ground with heavy gauge wire, done forget the fuse inline near the battery.


  4. Might have a shortage in your wire bc mine does that too.
