I have a stock (I guess) Alpine 6 cd changer installed in the trunk of my 96 civic. I can play a cd for around 5 minutes or so, and then the player starts what seems like skipping, it will just go silent for a few seconds, then come back on. If I continue to play a cd, it keeps on doing this, and the longer I play, the longer and more frequent the skips become until it goes silent and stays that way for a while (15 min. to 1 hour).

cutting the cd player on and off does not restart the cycle, the player just has to sit for a while to start working normally for another few minutes.

also my stock head unit stays fairly hot, whenever the car is running.

I have a friend who is having this same problem with an aftermarket cd player/head unit in his accord.

help me
