Most likely as amp error is referring to the internal amp ...usually it means it's getting a bad ohm load to low of impedance ..or detecting a bad wire ..pinched and sometimes grounding out ...I've seen this happen on aftermarket speakers where the speaker wire touches the body... or a bad speaker ..when it gets moving its changing the ohm load enough to go into protect getting an amp error.

I just looked up your deck and it has a nice built in 13 band EQ so take the aftermarket one out . You may be overloading the deck.

A lot of times what happens when you put speakers in doors especially if mounting to metal ..and new screws ... the speakers will tweak a little moving especially with steel baskets and will rub the voice coils... sometimes loosening a screw adding spacers or even better build a thin baffle board to mount speaker too so everything is stiff and straight no basket flex
