Guest Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 how is your amp grounded. is it grounded to a piece of BARE SHINY metal? is the power and ground the biggest the amp can fit? if everything shuts off im guessing that the voltage is dropping really low. how badly do your lights dim.

tristan560 Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 Try unhooking your amp and run it full tilt and see if the issue is still there.
