this is where you wire all amps to one ground also right?

and then get another one for power?

im goign to run a 4 gauge as main. and a 4 gauge to mono and a4 or 8 to 4 channel amp. not sure bout the 4 channel amp.

should i upgrade groudn to like 0/2 gauge. im usin a 6 gauge ground right now i think. it came with the kit.

What amps do you have? The wires by themselves are not the reason your amp is shutting down. The connection points might possibly be a problem. If your amps draw around 100amps or less, 4 gauge should be fine. While most people use the same gauge wires for both pos and neg, because of the short length of the ground wire, 6 gauge should be fine, and again, these aren't the sources of the amp shutting off.

the amp is a kenwood 9103d

I don't see a problem with the wires here. changing them won't stop the amp from shutting down. Check your connection points, battery and alternator health or the problem could be the amp, or it may just not like the load presented on to it.
