Last year I had a Panasonic in dash (25W X 4) CD player installed and at the same time upgraded the factory speakers to component Eclipse 6.5" and Blaupunkt 5.5" speakers. It sounds great but now I am having a few problems.
1. tweeter cuts in and out when hitting bumps
2. When I use the heater and drive in the mountains, the CD player gets HOT and shows "Error E-2" and shuts down.
I heard that the cutting out is probably happening at the crossover point, that it is unusual to run component speakers directly off the deck, and that this lack of power is probably causing overheating. Does this sound reasonable?
I am thinking about buying a Precision Amp (250Watt) to drive the front speakers, and let the deck drive the rear. I do not want to sacrifice space for this amp, but I am not sure where it will fit. Any ideas? Also is this amp worth the extra money ($300) or is it overpriced?
This lack of music on road trips is definitely getting me down! =(
