what do you mean it only plays cds at volume 10? will it stop if you go to 9 or to 11?? depending on the head unit, it would be an idea to amp the speakers, althought not completely nessicary, most headunits make about 4x22 WRMS, 6" speakers run between 50 - 90RMS, 6x9s usually between 60 - 120RMS, so obviously, wou wont be getting the maximum out of the speakers

what brand is your cd player? is it jb hifi special or something? if it only cuts out above 10 then it sounds like you don't have adequate power to your deck. it could be earthing or it could be your voltage regulator. Is your car a vk commondore? because my mate had a vk with that common problem. stepping on the brakes would make his cd player cut out cos the lights sucked all the power.

if you're not confident in checking the wiring find an antrx'er or a mate that lives near by to help you out.

Hehe yet another person fooled by 'max' power ratings. Max. ratings are just a marketing term.

Check behind the face plate for a reset button and press it if you find it.

Did the unit ever work properly?

I'd say it's faulty...

rofl @ his karma rating..
Don't let the opinions of the average man sway you. Dream, and he thinks you're crazy. Succeed, and he thinks you're lucky. Acquire wealth, and he thinks you're greedy. Pay no attention. He simply doesn't understand.
