Could be speaker wiring shorting out, I suppose. :-/

Worth getting to the bottom of it before fitting a new head unit, I'd say.

Reason I think its not wiring, as DLK hasn't said it cuts out (on a single speak or all speakers) at low volume.

To me, its a voice coil breaking down when working hard, sending amp into shutdown.


Tech2 doesn't talk to the amp on CCR2006, its a simple amp IC with the standard overload protection.

Could well be. Amp is clearly seeing something it doesn't like.

Probably worth changing the speakers with the head unit anyway, as a modern head unit will fry them. ::)

Had the radio on this morning, about an hour with no probs -apart from Chris Gobby idiot Moyles!
CD on coming home, and yep, got the little micro-second skips and it cut out twice - not stopped, carried on playing with no sound for a second or two.

Doing the wishbones tomorrow and flogging it I think - new Astra estate is beckoning!
Bit gutted as I genuinely love the Omega, but little niggles like this do my head in as I'm in the car for two hours a day, plus the MPG ain't great - a nearly-new diesel Insignia would cost similar to buy and run for a year as the Omega does in fuel alone.

Might get a new Clarion before it goes..........

*UPDATE*
It seems to have sorted itself out!
Removed cartridge, stuck 4 different CDs in and all played OK.
Stuck the other 4 back in (when it started to play up) and they played OK too. :-/

Normal or odd?
