My songs skips at almost every bump/pothole

Well iunno if you guys noticed or experianced this but my songs skips at pot holes, there not even the big ones.
Anyone else have this problem? Is there a fix to this problem?

oh one last question....
I just added 1 "10 JL wO and JL 250/1 mono amp to the car:D will it damage the overall sound system over time?


thankz to whoever replys

mine does that too. I kinda just lived with it. I asked the dealer, but they said they had to keep it overnight and I was like screw it, it doesnt bug me that much for them messing with it.

yea, i also found out older cd's skip a lot more compared to newer and brand new one because of wear. I might get it checked out the next time i put my car in.

Is it all discs, or just one or two in particular? I've had this happen (on a different vehicle) when my CD's were dirty.

mine happens with some bumps. But when i have a dirty/scratched cd (old), it skips on every single one. But one normal road bumps and potholes, it would skip on a 50/50 basis.

My skips, mostly on CDR's but sometimes on the originals too, mostly when it's cold, mentioned it to the dealer, same as above, wanted to keep it, I said F**k it. I might mention it next time I take it in. I need the oil pan I've been putting off for a while, and since I had to give it up three weeks after my 1st wreck, I've been reluctant to part with it again.

yeah I"m having the same problem. but i really don't think there's a way to "fix" the CD skips. I'm just going to look at some aftermarket HUs which has bigger buffers that prevents skips...

I have the stupidly overpriced Bose system, and it skips the exact same way.

Around NoVA, we have some crappy roads in the more crowded city areas (Ballston, Falls Church, etc) and my CDs skip routinely.

The buffer simply isn't large enough (or the CD unit isn't shock resistant enough, depending on how you look at it) A stupid oversight in my opinion. There is no way to fix it without getting a different/better CD solution with a better buffer.

There doesn't seem to be any buffer at all (no skip-protection). Oh well, hopefully soon the CD player will become as obsolete as a tape deck when I get an iPod hooked in. In the meantime it's bearable, just a little embarassing when you're trying to show off your new car....

I guess this problemis for people w/just the standard cd player and not the 6 cd loader. I guess if we want to get rid of the problemwell have to upgrade
