I have a 4 channel alpine amp running a pair of component speakers (6 1/2 and 1") and a pair of 4x6 plate speakers. A separate amp runs the subs. At anything higher than low volume the highs cut out every few seconds and then come back on. It happens when playing the radio, cds, or thumb drives in the USB. It worked fine for a couple mounths. Now I have problems. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Make certain that each ouput channel from the unit is driving no more that 4 ohms each. If you have more than one speaker attached to an output then be sure they are wired in series NOT parallel. Two 4 ohm speakers in series is an 8 ohm load and the same two speakers in parallel is a 2 ohm load. If the speakers are dual voice coils then you must treat each voice coil as if it were another speaker when it comes to wiring.

- If your speaker loads are correct then you probably have a blown amp. Good luck.

My boat has fairly good quality of sound when listening to a radio station, but when i put a cd in, i only hear the sound coming out of the speakers on the right side of the boat. Then if I plug an ipod into the aux outlet I can hear out of both sides of speakers, but it is very scratchy. How can I fix this?
