I "Thought" the MS8 was known for being extremely good with the auto tune..?

I wish I could smoke and draw up new ideas. Or that's a huge dildo.

Pop it out of the box and lay it vertically cone up and push gently and listen for any scraping. It could be the dust cap flopping about, if i remember correctly the BTL's have sewn in leads so that should eliminate any tinsel lead slap.

Both the SA's and the SKAR's are great woofers, pick one and you won't be lead wrong with the amount of quality in both of them. Beautiful box by the way!

yes

They are also less reliable and more prone to failure. Not stating this as fact, I had read after the first time the CB trip they become more inaccurate. Is this true?

why would he need door speakers when he clearly has a h/u or even a wiring issue? putting more money into this issue isn't going to solve anything as if to say how will an amp on his NEW door speakers fix the h/u or potential wiring issue? I understand for his system to get loud he WOULD, in the future, need a amp and newer/better speakers to get loud at a lower volume with this problematic h/u but here is the interesting thing if the volume control on the h/u its self isn't linear how will the amp solve the non-linear problem thus he will still have to be around 25-30 to get loud! well I guess he could still turn the gains up on the amp which could over come this volume issue.... but in the long run that wouldn't be the best idea! so before we go any furthur with this lets first let the OP get the wiring checked out and go from there! holy shit this forum is all fail. if his door speakers were clipping because of how crappy they are and because he is putting his volume too high (clearly)... it would cause the head unit to go into protect mode. A speaker doesn't clip because of "how crappy it is". You demonstrated that you truly do not know what clipping is. Let's do some reading here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clipping_%28audio%29 Yup, no mention of "crappy" speakers causing clipping, I believe you fail actually. obviously it was a figure of speech. sigh im done with this thread, my IQ is dropping being around all the fail.

Need to recut the baffle lol

I'd do it.

Lol ABU's FTW.

what are you trying to do with it?

Video coming soon!

Wow, awesome, but if i could make a suggestion, i would make something to cover up the sealant job on the plexi Looks rad.

I had not given any advice, so what advice is there to take? I simply stated I had a similar problem with a similar Head unit, I had taken it out inspected it, re grounded it and made sure my connections were secure and nothing changed so I moved to a different head unit which solved my problem. I had called Kenwood and they said they couldn't do anything for me to help to solve the issue. Kenwood had suggested sending it to an authorized repairer, I declined seeing how I received the head unit for free.

Lol looks like boulders ;D

did buying a new unit fix your problem? im contemplating bringing it back to where i bought it and trying to get a different/new one Yeah that's what I ended up doing, Mine would do it randomly just shut off then come back on a few seconds later.

I had the same problem with my Kenwood KDC-X589, never found out what happened i simply just bought a new head unit.
