CD player cut out today :S

[chezwez123]

Hi guys, when I was driving home today I had my music on pretty much full blast with the bass turned up, and the music started to crackle and cut out a little bit, next thing the radio dies for about 30 secs before switching on again.

Details : I dont have a sub but I do have hi-fi speakers wired up in the boot (lol i know )
I was sitting in the car with the engine off and music on for about 2 hours, turning the car on every 15 mins roughly
It was after about 15 mins of driving this happened, I may have smelled a slight burning but only about 20% confident i did...
The radio resumed normal function after this happened but still crackles slightly on heavier bassy songs...

Any ideas what could have caused this? I expect it was the car turning the radio off to stop the battery from dying but I am not sure...

Any ideas and/or solutions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Probably pulling too much from the CD player, do you even have an AMP for those speakers?

a stereo isnt designed to be played at full volume-the burning will be it trying to perform at beyond its capabilities, your speakers in the boot how are they wired

Im asuming the speakers in the boot has ample wire to play them? (I.E proper speaker wire)

I do not have an amp no, and as for the wiring in the boot they are wired up to the speakers in the rear passenger doors using a high quality audio wire, so basically 4 speakers wired to the rear output

that'll be why, your overloading the headunit and speakers, they will be permanently f**ked now, normally the speakers go rather than the headunit

everything still works fine lol

You said its crackling on bass. Disconnect the speakers from the rears or you'll have a new thread on here soon with "my speakers don't work"

only at high volume and can anyone provide a solution please? Will an amp for the rear speakers fix this problem from occurring again ?? Thanks in advance
