Hello all,
I am going through worst headunit installation experience ever with my 99 XJ that once had the infinity system: have purchased and taken back three brand new headunits and cannot resolve this problem. I purchased the JVC KDR610 headunit and a set of Kenwwod KFCP709PS 6.5 4 ohm component speakers and worked great for about a week, unit the sound started to crap at .25 of the total volume and I noticed the unit was extremely hot, and my lower light speakers with blink with the beat of the music. (this units manual advises that the headunit does get hot after use, but not extremely hot after 5 minutes like mine)
Checked the wiring to the compontents and the read 4 ohms with no issues. When I wired the first deck I had to bypass the infinity amp and locte all the input and output wiring for the speakers (what a mess) I decided with the second deck to bypass all of the infinity wiring completely and run new speaker wiring all away around. Again, sounded awesome for about 3 days and again, crap sound and extremely hot deck.
exchanged for another deck and thought might be the factory fround wire from the factory wiring harness my be too long, so I grounded on the metal kick plate under the steering wheel. Same result immediatley, so I disconnected the deck before it got too hot. Any ideas?? Is it possible I need to run a new red hot wire from the deck straight to the battery??
Would love any suggestions!!
