[QUOTE="NIHL8ION, post: 8105804, member: 653120"] This problem is due to either the wiring going to your HU, or the HU it's self, I seriously doubt 1400 watts is enough to overwhelm your electrical system to the point of causing your HU to fail. One easy way to narrow this down would be to 1st run yourself a direct ground from a steeing column support bracket bolt or other good ground under the dash / behind the HU and test again... If it still shuts off then run a direct lead to the battery with some normal primary / remote wire and jump your IGN / switched & constant power / memory wires together on your HU and hook them up to your test lead direct to the battery... Test again, if at this point it doesn't shut off anymore, than your harness is not supplying uninterrupted consistent voltage for your HU to function properly, so you can just make 1 permanent lead to the battery for your HU, and run another lead to your fuse panel to tap into switched / ignition power and be done with it...
