[QUOTE="hellouser, post: 6750210, member: 620710"] Yeah, the 'interrupt' was being caused when one of the wires (i think it was the pink one). I've got all of the cables now taped up, so the interrupt is no longer an issue. However, last night when I was driving with the volume at around 25 out of 35 notches, the deck would turn off and on again along with the lights being dimmed anytime id turn on the A/C. The speakers are definitely stock. A similar thing happens when I press on my breaks and the read red lights go off; the lights dim for a fraction of a second and the deck produces no sound (yet remains on). Its really really weird. I used a wiring harness, not sure of the make but it was around 20-30 dollars, I think. My boss hooked up all the cables and when I started having issues, another friend that knows his car audio (and has installed a ton of decks) went through the power cables and rewired them using a special rubber connection without twisting or having the wires tied together and then using a crimper. Looked really good to me. He grounded the deck to a second spot as well but it didnt do much. Im thinking of replacing the unit, maybe its just a lemon? You wouldnt happen to know exactly how hot the heatsink is supposed to get, it almost burns, and the loudness of the fan got me really worried, I don't want it to overheat and burn on me. If I decide to take the fosgate amp, is it still possible to use my self amplified Bazooka Tube? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
