My ICE Problem

Now before I start, prepare yourself for a mind boggling problem, you think you got it all figured out one minute but then something else doesn't make sense or doesn't add up and your back to square one.

Right... basically, when I play music and a song with high bass comes on, the music will skip. The song plays fine at about volume 12-14 but I like to play mine a lot higher, about 24-26. Except when a bass beat comes on, the track skips, almost like the CD player is loosing power?

Heres the interesting part...

It doesn't skip, regardless of volume amount, if the engine is turned off? So basically, I can blast music on full bass all day when the engine is off, but when its turning on and im driving, it will skip at volume 14 with average bass. The lower I turn the bass down, the higher I can go with the volume. At the moment, Its on -7 bass (as low as it will go) and I play it on volume 20-22.

Everything was working fine when I had my RipSpeed 7" DVD Player in there, it would never skip or anything, full bass, full volume, engine on, no problems - ever!

My new CD player is an Alpine CDA-9852RB


Other ICE components:

2 x Front JVC Speakers
2 x Rear JVC Speakers
12" 1000w Fly Sub w/ 400w built in Amp.


Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
