I have a sony flip and when I turn the volume up loud on the head unit the
audio starts cutting in and out!!! There is no external amp being used.
Could this problem be due to not enough power getting to the head unit?

Thanks in advance

it sounds to me like there's a loose connection on one of the
speakers...as it's cranked up, the vibrations are shaking it
loose.......it could be the connection *within* the speaker and not
the actual connection *to* the speaker, you'll have to examine them
closely to see it.

It could well be that the voltage drops when the unit draws current. I
would check the supply. Are you absolutely sure that it is connected
directly to a 12V supply and not to the "earthy" end of another piece
of equipment.

Try connecting the unit directly to the battery (via a suitable fuse
of course). If the fault goes away there is something wrong with the
supply wiring.

The other thing that comes to mind is low resistance on the output
side, causing the output chips to shut down. I assume you haven't got
loads of speakers in parallel.

Unlikely if all channels cut out.
