I've finished installing a new Kenwood Bluetooth amp in my CJ wired without a head unit just so it runs off Bluetooth. This is my second one I've gotten from a company that sells on EBay and Amazon. The first one I could only get to come on once so I sent it back and they sent me another no questions asked. Well, this one will come on and play for a few minutes, then it will cut off. When it does this, the speakers pop. I've redone the ground several ways, and the last way is like it is pictured. It's screwed to the Jeep floor with a ring terminal on bare metal. The ground is only a few inches. The amp is powered directly off the battery and the power control lead is wired to an ignition source. First time you turn it on, it plays and then stops after a few minutes. If I turn off the key and immediately try to turn it back on, it will come on and immediately go back off after a pop. If I wait about 10 minutes before starting, the amp will play for a few minutes then pop and go off again. The amp doesn't get hot at all.
I have it set up on 2 channels bridged. 2 6x9s on the wheel wells. The kicker speakers are supposed to be capable of the amp's output.
It's very frustrating. Maybe I've gotten 2 duds? I want to make sure I'm not missing something.
