Posted November 1, 201014 yr Last weekend I hooked up a Rockford fosgate p400-4 to my jvc kd-r810 and everything was fine untill today. I went to a friends house and it worked fine but on my way back home the sound would just cut in and out when I turned the volume past 10... At first I thought it was my iPod cable but it does the same thing when I play CDs too. Any ideas as to why this is happening?
November 1, 201014 yr What RCA's are you using? I had RF RCA's and they needed to be tweaked every so often with my Alpine HU. Check your +'s and -'s with a DMM check it at your front battery and then at your rear battery if you have one then at the terminal of your amplifiers.
November 1, 201014 yr Author Not entirely sure what RCAs I've got but I do know they're not RF I think the one might be scoche but I'm not positive. I'll break out the DMM as soon as I can and see what I got

November 2, 201014 yr Turn all of the gains and boost down?Or try to disconnect the speakers and turn it up and see if the problem continues.If it doesn't then there's a short somewhere in the area
November 3, 201014 yr Author I think you figured it out, I turned my front gain down and the problem went away. Is it safe to assume there is a short in one of the front speaker wires?
