Question about Sony CDX-SW200 AM/FM Compact Disc PlayerCDX-SW200
My boat has a sony stereo and matched amp. The amp is suppying the power to the rear speakers only. The stereo and amp work fine while listening to the radio, however when I put a cd in, the amp after about two seconds goes into protect mode. This only happens with cd playback.
MrLard, thanks for responding. I resolved the problem by disconnecting the blue feed from the stereo to the amp and wired the blue feed from the amp to a direct power source. Not sure of the technical reason as to why this worked but it did.

Do you get adequate bass on the radio, or is it a bit quiet on the low-end?

The 'Blue' feed is only for remote switching purposes and will only feed a low current, I think maybe 2A this will not be enough juice to feed and amp. You can connect a relay to the blue wire and use it to switch a main power from your fusebox.
With a separate amp you usually feed a fused live feed and either use a local earth (few and far between on a boat) or run live and earth direct
and the blue is the remote switch to tell amp/s
to switch on.
Is there a red or yellow cable on the amp
wiring harness?
You may find that if you have thr blue feed cable permanently wire to batt+ that the batt will drain after some time cos the amp will be on permanently (unless you have a master batt switch or ur boat, not sure, I'm a land-lubber)

Philip
