Audio cuts out

Hello Guys,

So I have a 15' GL 550 with the harmon kardon. When I play music at high/higher volumes, the audio will cut out intermittently for a split second. This happens multiple times during the course of a song This also happens regardless of what media type is being used. I've tried different audio EQ settings and that didn't do anything, turning logic on and off didn't either. So, im curious if its a hardware or software issue. I think I experience it the most when I crank it up while cruising with the windows down because I don't have the issue while parked. Is there audio sensor that changes with the speed of the vehicle? Or adjusts for changes in cabin noise (ie, windows down)? So far, I'm stumped

Has anyone heard of something like this happening or even experienced it?

TIA,
KL

Anyone? No one has heard of this issue? Am I the only one who rolls the windows down and cranks the music up?
