Im running an Alpine CDA-7863 with a powercap and four channel amp, but wierd thing is, lately my deck has been cutting out and not playing anything for like 10-40 seconds randomly... for example i would be listening to my CD, then hear it make a very faint strange noise then it would stop playing any sounds for about 10sec to about 40 secs, the time varies..

it all started happening after i replaced some wires to hook up to my ipod.. what can it be? i doubt any wires are loose cause most of the time it plays fine, just randomly it would die out, then continue playing .. (deck is still on, the time / numbers / seconds are still counting, but just no sound is being heard)

 

Well since you took the headunit out to put in a ipod. I would go back and check out everything to make sure its okay. Either something is loose or grounding out. Or the headunit is about to go.

 

What "wires" did you replace?

i only replaced the 2 wires that connect to AUX , the RCA's since my old one was kinda broken (sometimes only would play on the left side)

 

go back and make sure everything it solid tight.

if i remember right...wasn't the 7863 one of the first generation flip-flat face V-Drive radios from Alpine? if so, i remember having to replace a few of those cuz the internal amps started to go and the preouts were going bad too. anybody else have any experience like this?
