Help My Kenwood Head Unit Keeps Losing Power

[Krishanthan]

Hi My fellow car audio enthusists.

I got a Kenwood DDX 7045 installed in my 2002 toyota camry Altise. I also have a Alpine AMP and A PIONEER Q307d2double Subwoofer. I am Very happy with this setup and at the present future not planning to do any more changes. The head unit was installed by a professional 3 years ago.

NOW HERE IS MY PROBLEM:

Recently the Kenwood Head Unit has intermediate loss of power. Basically what it does is while i am driving it works fine for a while. Then suddenly it losses power, however about a second it regains power and works fine. This cycle continues for a while.

I am not sure when it will do it. It is surely getting into my nerves and starting to annoy the living hell out of me. I can enjoy good quality dance and trance music with my sub and then it has intermediate power failures.

I know there are lots of experienced Car Audio people around here.

I know what i am doing when it comes to car audio installation and stuff like that. I was wondering if any of you have experienced this kind of problem and will rewiring the Head Unit solve this kind of problem.

Please reply back to me as i am seriously desperate.

Thank YOU

Krishanthan

Did you solder the wires together or crimp them?

My guess is that it is a loose connection or bad solder joint.

sounds like either...voltage problems or a short somewhere.

Could also be the plug/harness in the back of the HU as I had an eXcelon that had the same problem. Had to use a small wooden shim to hold the plug tightly in place...
