If you notice that the front car speakers are cutting out at high volumes you require to troubleshoot to identify the problem and fix it. You can try having a look at this yourself without having to take your vehicle to an independent audio shop to save you the trouble of booking in. There are many reasons to why this could possible happen in your audio installation so here the tips to problem solve.
1) Check for loose connections or terminals. When you crank your stereo system to a ridiculously high volume for your listening satisfaction, the more vibrations are going to occur and transfer across the plastic trim panels. This can possibly trigger loose wires or connectors, so make sure everything is firmly connected as it should originally be. To make sure pull out the headunit and speakers from both front doors and recheck everything.
2) Check power or ground wires. If you notice that the lights on your car stereo dim when this happens there is a strong possibility that its not getting the sufficient amount of voltage to become fully operational. So get a multimeter reader and check what the voltage is at. If you get a reading between 12-14 volts that's fine. If you notice that the voltage drops below these levels when the speakers cut out you need to upgrade the power wire, earth or battery capacity to a deep cycle.
3) Faulty headunit / amp. It could possibly be an actual fault with the hardware. So try an alternative stereo or amplifier to see if that resolves any issues. If it does, you have clearly identified the problem and you will need to purchase a replacement unit of your choice. Try to avoid cheap makes if you can and stick with reputable brands such as Alpine, Pioneer, Clarion, JVC or Kenwood for durability and brilliant performance for the long term.
