Speakers cutting out

[CodyDaGoat]

I have a 97 suburban. I had some hertz aftermarket 6.5s all around for a while which I never had a problem with. Decided to try out the NVX VSP65s. Got all 4 speakers done (2 components, 2 Coaxials, Tweeters are not hooked up yet), and added the crossover to the fronts. I got my speaker input and speaker wires from the kick panels. Tweeters are not hooked in yet, haven't mounted them. I now have a problem where if I turn the deck up (Kenwood KDC-X702) to about 26, all the speakers shut off, deck stays on until I restart it. If I fade to the back it doesn't do it. If I unhook the inputs from the crossover to shut the fronts off, it doesn't do it. If I only have one of the fronts hooked up, it then goes to the cutting out problem (one or the other both do it). The only thing I have done different from the Hertz was add the crossovers (didn't have any hooked up on old one). Where should I go from here? Crossovers are not mounted near metal. Speakers are directly wired into them, and I don't know where to go from here.

Update: Unhooked crossovers and direct wired speakers back to deck and it stopped. Will see what happens after I hook tweets and 4. Hannel up

What amp are you using? Pics would be nice with settings.Sounds like you are clipping to me.HU settings may be an issue as well.What is your supply for your audio system?Big 3 been done? HO Alt? Stock batteries?Single battery?A little more info.Whats your resting/idle voltage, and your voltage when turned up?Settings on HU and amplifier/amplifiers?

Got it fixed. Not sure why, but if the tweeters aren't hooked into the crossover, it seems to do it. I'm building a 5k watt system. I already have a 285 hairpin alt, one battery that's sits at 14 volts. 4 channel amp isn't hooked up yet, it was just the crossover causing it, and only when the tweeters weren't hooked into it. I have a TPI 440, the head unit doesn't clip til 28 so I have always played at 27.
