I don't know if its due to moisture, the constant change in voltage, vibrations, the very bumpy ride or all of the above. but im on my ...

ADDITON

NOTE: I am running everything off the stock battery... if you are goin to be using a stereo like this DAILY.. i would recommend adding an additional battery to keep the load off the charging system... u can do this by "jumping" the batteries together...
