New here!!!

Hey guys, i come from montrreal and i just bought a '97 cl 3.0 and that's a real great car!

I was looking for pics of cl's and i found this site: It is really great very good forum and people look good also

BTW, i just change my cd player, i biught a alpine 7893 (4x60) and when I put the volume too loud, the radio turns off and restart. Do you know what can be the problem??

Someone needs to move this to A/V...

botche:
Hmm...is it new? And it just cuts off and restarts when you turn it up really loud? Did you or someone else install it? That almost sounds like a short of some sort...and the protective circuitry is shutting it off and resetting it...though I've yet to hear about this issue with the Alpine 7893...

the problem dont come from the radio because when i got the car, there was a JVC radio installed in it.

ALso, do you if the oem speakers (Bose) in the rear got an ampli? if so, where is it situated??

I installed it myself and i took the wire from the old radio, maybe this radio wasn't installed correctly!

i had the same problem a couple of years ago on my sony.

If I remember correctly, the ground was not connected properly so it wasn't getting the full power that it needed.

Also might want to check the ground for the amp.

Yep....definitely check all the wiring...but I'm a little worried about that resetting...may want to call Alpine and find out how that unit reacts to different things and what all makes it reset...then just go through and check everything.
