Default Head unit cutting out, prob. simple solution... HELP ;)

Hi,

I have a Sony head unit (CDX-MP70) RMS 23x4 Peak 52x4. I have it hooked
up to 4 Infinity Kappa 62.5i 6.5 speakers. When I turn up the volume
maybe a little less than half way or more on the head unit the unit cuts
out/shuts off, then in about 5 seconds it pops back on and continues
playing, but will cut out again if I don't lower the volume. From what I
understand the head unit should handle the speakers no problem. Can
anyone shed some light on what might be the problem? The head unit (in
the back) does get warm-hot but not real hot to the touch. No water
damage or other phsyical damage has been done.

Thanks for any info.

Hello Matt
It sounds like you have a speaker wires grounding.
This is the easiest to try to see if you can narrow the problem
Try fading it all the way to back and trying it again and see if it still
cuts out.
If it still does it, try fading the unit all the way to the front and see if
it stops.
If it stops when you fade to the front, then one of the back speakers is
grounding
If it stops when you fade to the rear, then one of the front speakers is
grounding.
The problem could be at the speaker or behind the radio if the wires were
not covered good
