I have a 1996 Suzuki Esteem and my stereo is cutting in and out and the stereo system is a Sony CDX – GT420U. If you have any ideas it would be greatly appreciated

If it dumps completely check your powers and ground, if you lose sound you may have a speaker terminal or lead shorting out. Your question is too vague to answer simply, I need to know when it cuts out, e.g. over bumps and what exactly happens.

It cuts out when i turn up my stereo past volume level 20 and what happens is everything just turns off and then about 10seconds later turns on then goes off again and so on until i get it to a lower volume

Mr. I. knows this one better than me but either a poor head unit amp or you need to go to the battery with a thicker fused power supply to your yellow constant cable or a thicker ground cable to a chasis bolt.

Your radio is not getting enough power. It could be not getting enough power to the yellow wire of the radio, or it could be a bad ground. Your will really need a volt meter to figure out which of the 2 is your problem.
