I have a Alpine cda-7897 cd player installed in a underdash mounting kit in my 94 pontiac. When I turn up the volume past a certain point it starts to skip from all the bass. Which is very irritating, i've almost thrown it out the window a few times. I was wondering if anyones had this problem before?, if so what did you do to stop it from skiping?

You need to determine exactly what the cause is. By this I mean it can be of many sources.

(1) a voltage drop causes the cd player to not have enough power to track the cd properly.

- hook up cd player to a different battery - retest

(2) too secure of a mount

- loosen the mounts - retest

(3) an insecure mount

remount cd player - retest

(4) the shockwave of the subs actually causes the cd player to skip.

- remove cd player from vehicle and put on seat still wired, place a box of some kind over the cd player - retest

(5) the subs hit a frequency that causes the cd laser sled to resonate - very similar to up above.

- time for a new cd player like an Eclipse, laser sled is tuned to resonate at 19hz.
