Electrical Help!!!!!

That's the first time I have heard that. Is there a fuse in the power wire and is your battery fully charged? Also your gains are set crazy are they?

Yes there is a fuse in the power wire and battery is charged. Gains are very conservative. I'm going to redo the grounds this afternoon and see if that does anything.

almost sounds like however you have the amp wired it is interfering the the full connection of the cars electrics to the battery.

Loose or bad cables/terminals maybe?

a loose and or corroded negative connection on the battery could cause this issue. Odd that it would only happen when the amp is connected, though.

grounds were bad. It's all good now. My sub amp is flickering the clip light on and off when the gain gets to about half way. The sub isn't cutting off or anything though. I put the kinetik 1800 under the hood already also.
