Is the pop dangerous for my equipment?

I took it in today to get it looked at and they said that it was because I have no remote switch on the stock HU, so they have now attached it to my AUX power. It seems likes it's staying for now, but it still doesn't seem right. The sub 'pops' whenever the amp turns off and then comes back on 15 seconds later for a few more seconds. I'm going to get my TV installed sooner than expected and hopefully this will fix it. As far as making them pay for a new battery, I don't even know where to begin...

I only had him install it because I purchased the sub/amp at the store and I needed a certified installer to install it to retain my warranty. I hope to have it fixed today though. I'll let you know what the issue was.

Not the second time. The car had been sitting for about 1.5 hours before I went back out and it was dead.

I appreciate the response! I'll definitely check out the harness under the seats tomorrow morning and let you know my findings. The power windows are getting fixed tomorrow by the dealer, so my guess is it was something easy that went wrong and they already knew about it. The car ran for a solid day and a half with no issues. The car rarely dips below 14V, so for it to shut down as quickly as it does, I really can't figure it out. As soon as I turn the car on, I get 14.4V and when it shuts off, it's still at 14.4V. As far as how the amp was installed, I have no idea. I had a pro do it (for warranty reasons) and apparently it didn't go so well. I am going to take it in tomorrow hopefully to get it looked at. I was thinking that the remote wire must have been hooked up wrong for it to constantly be on.

I had my amp/sub installed on Friday morning and my car has died twice since. The first time was after playing music off of the battery for about 5 minutes. I went to turn the car back on and it was dead. The second time was earlier tonight. I went on break and went to get something from my car and noticed that my remote unlock wasn't working. I tried to start the car and it was again dead. No explanation this time. When I went to jump it later on, I noticed that my headlights/tail lights were flashing (dimly) and around the fuse box there was a clicking sound every time they flashed. The amp seems to constantly have a light on, which doesn't make sense to me. Is it continuously draining power? If so, why?

Hey guys, I just purchased a 2002 Pontiac Bonneville that is fully loaded with power everything. Currently, there are two issues that (in my opinion) are electrical problems: Back power windows do not work and the heated seats also do not work. I told the dealer my intention of adding an in-dash TV to replace the stock stereo as one of the lights is currently burnt out in the display, and then adding my JL13W7 and JL1000/1 to the mix. He told me that adding an aftermarket stereo of any kind and "messing around" with the wiring can cause many electrical issues within the car and that his reputation is on the line if the car fails. I went to the shop that I get all of my work and equipment from and they just told me to add an additional battery and it will be fine. Is this true? Seems too easy. Can anyone shed some light on this for me? Will the addition of a car stereo cause inevitable doom to the rest of my electrical systems? Thanks!
