Alright well I have a JVC deck that was put in the other day and everything works fine except for when you play a cd at high volume. With the fade balanced when you turn up the volume, the music breaks up as if the cd is skipping but with the fade either full front or full back and high volume the music playback is smooth. Radio works perfectly fine wherever the fade and volume is so i dont really have a clue whats goin on. leave a message if oyu can help!

it means your speakers are distorting and cant handle the power from the new deck.

i had a customer come in with the same problem on a jvc deck....he had it installed at best buy and they wired in some crappy bass blockers and once those were out the hu worked perfectly......

oh alright, ill look into that smoker. i forgot to mention that along with the deck i got new 200W speakers which is the max of the deck so the speakers distorting shouldnt be a problem. thanks for your help. my friend and his bud did the installation so ill post back after i talk to them

ya it still can be the problem because you dont go by max out put anyways. when you over drive an amp or cdplayer it will send clipping/distortion to the speakers and over power them/ make them sound like ass. id say your over driving the speakers or your speakers are crap.

could also be the amp in that head unit clipping as well.
the door speakers should be run with a HPF to block anything subs could be handling. which will give you more dynamic power to the door speakers as a result.

oh I c. Yeah my bad sinister ,im new to audio installation so i probably dont know what im talkin about. ill just relay all the info from the posts to my friend

I bet you are trying to push speakers that are the wrong ohm. I tried to push some 8 ohm pioneers with a clarion deck back in 95. They did the same thing. I ended up puting a potentiometer in line to drop my ohms to 4. Problem solved.

Or you might have your speaker wires shorting out.
