Any idea what the problem is, or what I can do to fix it?

I have a completely factory audio system with the Alpine Premium head unit. I plan on installing an OEM Audio+ system in my car on saturday regardless if this problem is fixed or not. (For a sponsorship)

Could you clarify on what you mean by "it cuts out"? Does the HU completely shut off or is it just the speakers cutting out? If it is just the speakers then you may be able to adjust your settings down a little to stop overdriving the speakers and amplifier to stop the clipping. Did you do any splicing of wires in the cabin for any supplemental components for your turbo install? This could cause an issue depending on what/where the splices connect to and if they were sealed/covered properly and what the scenario of the "cutting out" is.

Cutting out as in the speakers start to cut out at higher volumes. The higher the volume the more they cut out, starting at about 30. The Turbo was all plug and play, and it did not involve anything in the cabin.

Have you attempted to adjust your settings on the HU all the way down and turn the volume up past 30?

Fixed the problem! It was my driver's side front door speaker. When I faded it back or to the right it stopped cutting out. When I installed my OEM Audio+ System it fixed everything!

Glad to hear you figured it out and got it fixed. How are you liking your OEM Audio + system?
