DIY amp wire running and radio trim removal

[cfeng]

have you ever ran new speakers without an amp? i'm using 100w polk audio component speakers now. the issue is that my head unit goes blank or ejects an mp3 cd on its own randomly. i think i might be drawing too much power from the stock head unit. any ideas why this happens?

I am running 260W Pioneers, nothing like this happens to my system. Yeah and not using an amp at the moment. Only for the sub which draws signal from the rear speakers via a LOC.
I usually listen near peak volume of head unit.
