BHSskaterBHS Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 I just hooked up 2 kenwood 5x7s and 2 soundstorm 3". My head unit overheats very fast and just shuts off, happens when i turn the volume up about 3/4. All the positives and negatives are straight. Should i get a voltage tester and test the 12v lines going to the headunit? 2002 FORD EXPLORER PACKED WITH SOME CHEAP SUBWOOFERS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*1LOWSUV* Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 What brand head unit? Are you using all 8-speaker wires off the rear of the deck? Why would you want to turn your volume 3/4 with 4 speakers off your head unit???? : [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siete_Cinqo Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 seen this happen b4 and it was a bad start battery that was dropping below 12 volts at high volume and make forcing the H/U to shut off. Check your voltage going to it since you already stated that you checked the ground power and turn on connections. From experience when Kenwood H/U's get too hot they start to skip the cd being played but have never experienced them shutting off from being too hot.

BHSskaterBHS Posted May 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Sony, yes i was using all channels, when it was cranked up almost full tilt (3/4) the hu would over heat super fast and shut off. There was something wrong with the hu, because i put in a new one and it works great. 2002 FORD EXPLORER PACKED WITH SOME CHEAP SUBWOOFERS!

Boon Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 "Independance" lol... the word he's after is impedance. Did you hook them all up to seperate channels or did you parallel the speakers? 10.x volts fo' life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
