[QUOTE="dakotus, post: 7300851, member: 563965"] Hey guys, have a question for the car audio gurus. I have an older Sony Mobile ES deck CDX-C6950. (told ya it was old) Running a Planet Audio PA2004 amp, CDT components in the front, and rear fill. The problem I've been having lately is that the sound will cut out randomly at any volume. Sometimes this happens at low volume, sometimes only when I start turning it up. Sometimes it happens when I start lowering the drivers window, which led me to believe it was a component wiring issue in the drivers door, but I looked, and there are no apparent wire frays. To try to help rule things out, I connected my blackberry directly to the inputs on the amp, and there was NO cutting/crackling of any kind, at any volumes. Even tried lowering the windows, still no problems. Is it possible for the RCA outputs on a deck to go bad? I realize this deck is probably 10 or more years old. What other things can I check to rule things out? Try a different patch cable from deck to amp? Grounding? Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
