Result yesterday I got lots of ignition noise toady the unit says "Protect"
which the manual says that the speaker wire has a short circuit which
it doesn't.

        How do you know the speaker wires don't have a short?  How did you 

test them?  Are they new wires or the stock ones?

        Try unhooking all the speaker connections from the radio and 

seeing if you get the Protect message.  If you don't, that would indicate 

that there is a problem in the speaker wiring.  Hook up one set of speaker 

wires at a time until you get the Protect message, the last set being the 

one with the problem.

        Also, I pulled up the manual off the web - did you press the reset 

button after each change in wiring?
