need help with my system

[dkovalen]

I have a pioneer head unit, an MA Audio mono 800W RMS amp and two 12" single voicecoil Audiobahn subs rated at 1000W RMS. The problem I am having is that whenever i turn on the music realy loud all of the speakers in the car start to distort like crazy and the music starts to crack and there are all these high pitched noises in the background, and all of this madness ends when every speaker in the car turns off, but the headunit and the amp stay on, there just isn't any sound. Oh and also i dont think its my gain because it's at only 35%.

Can anyone help me with this problem?

is really loud like all the way up or real close to it? it almost sounds like you have an impedence problem somewhere

my receiver's volume goes to 62 and the distortion starts at 40

the speakers that distort are running off the deck?

yeah and at times they just shut off but the receiver still has the time running and the amp is on. also its not just the speakers but the subs too

i also have another question, when my headunit goes on the subs make a mild bang, this olso happens when i turn on my lights or other high power consumers

ok the deck's internal amp is shutting down due to a short or more than likely a speaker is starting to go. the second part sounds ground related. either in the rca path or the ystems ground
