Ok, so today when i was driving down the road, my sereo randomly turned off, the came on for a split second then off again like 3 times before it was just dead. I checked all the fuses, they are all fine. But when i went out to my car a while later to start it, it came on normaly. SO i am curious as to what would cause this. The car is a Jvc, less than a year old and has been no where but in its posistion in my dash

Could be loose connections or a heat-related failure of the head unit.

On my HU i had to solder a couple wires 'cause i had the same problem. Where the wire goes into the plastic connector (the one that clips into the HU) was loose since it would get tugged on a little everytime i installed/uninstalled (same deck in 3 vehicles) so i heated up a blob of solder on the gun and solidified the connection...no more problem, but it might make a bit of mess on the back if your not careful with the soldering iron.

The car is a JVC?

"The car is a Jvc, less than a year old"

Haha, I would check the connections to ensure that they are solid, sounds like a loose ground or power / ignition line. Was the display also going on and off, or just the audio. If it was audio only, then you may have a bad speaker or speaker wire grounding out.

Top Secret, I can tell you but then my wife will kill me.

If it's not getting enough voltage it would.

My ex once told me I have a perfect face for radio.
