[QUOTE="Erba82, post: 6901976, member: 624167"] I have two amps in my car, both are new. I installed one three days ago for all my speakers in the car and works great. Today, I got my subwoofers that I had ordered online, so I installed my second amplifier for those subs, and they work great also. The only problem I am having is when I hit a bump in the road, my amp for the subs goes into protection mode. I've searched and searched, and the only thing I've read that could be causing this is the ground. I have the ground made about 6 inches away from the amplifier. I drilled into the chassis of the vehicle, just like I did with my other ground, sanded it really well with a mini-power sander and tightening it up with a washer and a screw. Is it possible that this is really whats causing my amp to go into protection on any bump? This doesn't happen to the amp I have connected to my speaker. Reason i don't have them both connected to the same ground is because I read that the ground should be close to the amp, and both grounds are on the opposite side of the trunk (one on passenger side, one on driver's side.)
