You may want to check and make sure the polarity is correct on your speakers, meaning negatives with negatives and hots with hots , I recently had this happen in my wifes truck and the speakers hooked up wrong now you can crank it till the speakers blow lol , hope this helps .

reversing the polarity on the speakers won't cause cutting out, POSSIBLY it would with tweeters but I'm still skeptical there. Reversing the polarity just changes whether the speaker pushes or pulls. I used to compete in stereo comps, and lots of people will reverse them in different situations, some amps even have a switch to do it without swapping wires.

It could be a power feed issue, poor ground (amounts to the same thing), or your speakers are out of phase. You could have one speaker wired correctly and one speaker reverse. This will cause them to sound terrible when you turn it up.

When I installed a aftermarket stereo and started to have the same problem I thought it was the deck but it turned out to be that the speaker connection had come loose an was grounding out . just my 2 cents
