Alright.this is a problem that has been ongoing since i got this alpine unit. When the volume gets too high, the unit just shuts off, the display retracts as if i shut it off, and then it turns back on as soon as the display is fully retracted. This usually happens at around volume levels 20-23, and will rarely get anoy louder than this. Anything with prominent bass in it, e.g.; rap, will shut off at a lower volume level usually starting at 18. please, any input will help me
Check your ground, it could be that your antenna is the only source of ground, in which case the deck does not have enough power to stay on when it draws too much power. I've seen exactly what you are saying many many times. Ground it really reallly good.
GET AN AMPLIFIER FOR YOUR SPEAKERS
You need an amp for your speakers. You are not pushing enough watts to the speakers causing the radio to shut down.

I have an Alpine CDA-9847, which is powering 2 sets of Powerbass 3XL-60C speakers (4 woofers and 4 tweeters), a set of L-4002 coaxial power bass speakers... and now i have a Kicker ZX400.1 amp powering a Powerbass S-10 10" subwoofer.
Songs with some heavy bass will cause the head unit to pretty much reboot. Shuts off then a second later comes back on. What is the cause of this? I read somewhere that there is a bad ground, that its grounded through the antenna? Should I just ground it myself? Thanks!
