Ran a search, but couldn't dig up any info on this.
At significant volume (F'in loud) I notice that my stock CD/FM/Tape player will momentarily fade in and out. It never fades all the way out, but the volume will fade a noticeable amount. I adjusted the bass all the way down, thinking that it was the speakers bottoming out. That still didn't solve the problem. As far as I can tell, I have the basic sound system in my '99. There is no factory amp in the rear, and no subwoofer. Just four 6x8's and a head unit.
I'm wondering if this problem is simply inherent to the factory head unit, or if the unit is getting ready to crap out on me. I never experience it at low or moderate volumes.... only when it's really cranked up. It's almost like the radio's amp can't keep up with the music.
Has anyone else experienced this with their stock head unit?
