sometimes when i play my stereo in the boat nothing comes out of the speakers. The stereo is reading the cd because the timer is counting up but nothing comes out of the speakers. other times it works tho

does anyone know what could possibly be causing this. thanks

Your amp should have an indicator light that turns on when the amp is switched on.

Are they CD's you burned?

Or

Does it happen with commercial CD's too?

Does it work w/ the radio either?

there is probably loose connections somewhere between the stereo and the speakers. First check the wiring behind the stereo and make sure all the wires are tight and not corroded. than check each speaker. If that isn't the problem than your probably looking at a new stereo.

Chaz has a good point. If they are cdrw's you burned then they will not work in every cd player. I had the same problem.

no it doesnt work with the radio either so it is not just burnt cds. dschock, it is just random there is no pattern. when we take our boat in we are going to ask the mechanics to check out the problem but i just thought that maybe i could fix it before then if it is something simple

bad head unit

Sounds like primary circuit to the audio board. My guess, either crossed polarity (not only power wires, but speaker wires as well) at some time in the past or took a voltage spike.

This assumes that there is at least one set of speakers running off the head unit itself, not all of them going thru amps.

Maby a bad connection on the "remote-wire" (the thin wire between your headunit and your amp, that tells your amp when to power up).
