[QUOTE="Wingman0121, post: 6776233, member: 620554"] Definitely a loose ground either on the amp or where it hooks up to your car chassis. A word of advice... amps with screw-type terminals(especially ones that needs an allen wrench) NEEDS to be tightened multiple times initially to make sure it doesn't come out, otherwise I bet you any money that I can just pull the **** wire out like it was never even screwed down. Tighten the screw then wiggle the wires side to side & up and down (but don't pull on it) then tighten it again, you should notice that you can keep turning quite a ways after you wiggle the wire. Keep repeating this until the screw is completely tight, but don't overdo it or otherwise you can break the terminal or strip the screw. [/QUOTE]
