Correct I am running 4 speakers off the head unit but no amp or sub. This head unit is probably over 5 years old so it could be going badAll things said, any large subwoofers should be providing bass below 120 hz, unless they are just loudspeakers, so there ends the lesson in whatever you are calling your speakers If you have them running from an amp, and your stereo is turning off when the "bass" hits then you either have something wired wrong that is shorting your stereo or a loose connection in your setup that is affecting power to either your radio or amp, most likely. If you have anything larger than a 6 x 9 running off your head unit that might also be the problem because it may be a subwoofer with a different ohm load that is causing your stereo amp to overheat (or perhaps under perform) and then shut off.
It sounds like you are running 4 speakers off the head unit, and then some RCA lines out to an amp?? I'd check for loose connections on your power and ground first, then the speaker connections, especially if it is installed with butt connectors (or anything worse) and see what that nets you first.
JVC's are not total junk, but they are kinda built as a budget stereo (to that means like a starter radio to be replaced later, lol). As they age the internal amp on the stereo might be crapping out and it's time to look at a new head unit. Cheap doesn't always last forever and cheap electronics do have a tendency to degrade over time.
