I Have a Clarion DXZ675USB head unit in my jeep. As most aftermarket head units, it runs at 4 ohms, however my infinity kappa door and rear deck speakers are 2 ohms. Ive been doing a little research on the problem I'm having and can't find a definitive answer.
The problem I'm having is that the head unit will shut off when the volume is turned up too high, and if I don't turn it down immediately when it comes back on it only stays on for a split second then turns off again and repeatedly does this until the volume is turned down again.
I've been to numerous sites and there are some people that say its the impedance the speakers are running at, others that say bad ground, others say too small of a power wire going to the head unit, others say not enough wattage going to the speakers from the head unit, Some say to just get a 4 channel amplifier and use that to power the speakers, but I don't want to do that and then have that not solve my problem.
Another question I have is if i DO end up getting a 4 channel amp, whats the proper way to wire it so that it runs at 2 ohms for the 2 ohm speakers?
I thank anyone who can help in advance.
