[QUOTE="drtone, post: 7169827, member: 629730"] Thanks to all who replied. As I said, the installer also left the hood of my brand new car open, with only the safety latch holding it. I mentioned it because it shows how lazy (or something) he is. What does it take to shut a hood, even if you think you might want to open it again? The point is that I don't trust him for more reasons than that the system doesn't work. So at the very least, I need to pay someone else who might do it right, because I feel completely at sea with this type of equipment. BTW, the sound does not come on again if I merely shut off the head unit, only if I shut off the car and start it again, if that means anything. What could be wrong with the installation, specifically? The cut-off definitely has something to do with the current volume, not as set at the head unit, but as the signal comes through the system, because when I play a compilation disk, the unit cuts off when the head unit is set at a moderately high volume and a new, inherently louder track starts. Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree, but this suggests to me that the problem is not strictly electrical (e.g., a short), but represents a bad setting somewhere in the electronics, if that makes any sense. Could it just be a matter of tweaking the switches on the amp? In which case, I'd be up for that. Any suggestions welcome. [/QUOTE]
