    Could having both factory tweeters and coaxial speakers be overloading my head unit amp?

    My head unit overloads whenever I play bass-heavy music, if it gets too bassy, the sound will cut off completely and won't come back until hours later when it has reset. I have alpine coaxial speakers (RMS 60 W, peak power 240 W, impedance = 4 ohms) and a sony dsxa410 head unit (4 x 55 W...

For example BS1361 breaking capacity can be 16.5kA to 33kA depending on what type you get, where BS88 is 16kA...
