Default Aftermarket Radio Problem

Hey,

So I got an aftermarket deck installed (by best buy) on my 98 ex. The deck will turn off and then back on while driving, and it seems to happen more often at higher volume. It also seems to happen more often on songs with more bass, but maybe it's just me. It generally does not do this when the volume is low. I have stock speakers. Any idea what the problem could be? I used the search function before posting and didn't see anything answering something like this.

You could have a blown speaker. Use the balance and fader controls to play one speaker at a time and make sure they all sound OK.

Maybe a loose wire or connector at the rear of radio?

All of the speakers sound fine to me. Also I didn't have this problem with the stock radio so I don't think it'd be that.

I'm not sure on the wiring because I didn't do it myself, Best Buy did. Would that be something their warranty would cover if that was the case?
