Default radio shuts off

Hey ive got a aftermarket radio in my truck. model CDE-9874 to be exact. i installed it myself but i am decent at wireing. it isnt my first time wireing in a deck. haha but thats what gots me confused. when i get the volume up there pretty loud it will shut off and then turn itself back on. (with time and presets still saved) It didnt do it for the first couple weeks. There doesnt seem to be any specific time when it goes off. it has shut off the secound i crank it up or i can leave it cranked up for 10 mins and then it will shut off. I upgraded speakers at the same time i put the deck in. I put pioneer 6 1/2" TS-A1672R in the front doors. and Pioneer 6x9s TS-A6962R in the back? please let me know what you think it could be because you have no idea how ****ty this is

I just did a littel research on my own and found out that the speakers by themselves are 4ohm. The HU is capable of handling up to 4ohms. So if you wired each speaker to each channel of the HU, you should be OK. If you tried to bridge the channels together, that could be your problem. You might also have a wire or 2 grounding out behind the radio. Make sure there arent any bare wires or wires touching that shouldnt be.
