Well,
Just trying to diagnose this "clipping" issue on my new radio, 4x53 Watt Clarion radio, and it only starts clipping after 15 minutes of running.
It's either the head unit or the speakers, and I personally have a feeling something is overheating...
But, I've just spoken to Clarion, who've suggested looking at the voltage and checking the power supply.
Though that gets me a little unsure.
I run the car for 15 minutes, then I get clipping. I keep it clipping until I get to work. I get to work, turn the car off... after work, the radio is fine again, for 15 minutes. So is it possible for the power supply to refresh itself somewhat when the car is off (or maybe its an overheating/dodgy alternator?)? Also there's no other noticable power problems that I can detect (unless you count the sometimes rapid battery discharge after leaving the cabin light on for 30 minutes, leading to a non-starter). So Im bewildered.
Im keeping this under maintenance because Im relating this to battery/alternator.
Cheers Simon
