[QUOTE="a-a-r-o-n, post: 8803712, member: 686369"] Alright, closing the loop on this for the next guy that has this problem: I replaced the amp with the same model but non-refurb and it had the same problem. For reference this is the Infinity Primus 6004a which is also the same amp as the JBL Stage A6004. So, I then pulled the car battery out and took it to OReilly to have them load test it. It came back "good" but with about 25% of life remaining. Now knowing I would probably be doing this within a year anyway, I decided to buy a new ACDelco Gold AGM car battery on Amazon. I popped it in, and the amp is no longer cutting out on restart. This car's battery is in a tight space and has items mounted to the top of it, so I didn't have the option of buying a larger than spec battery. However, the ACDelco Gold had 70 more CCA than the one installed at the factory. The moral of this story is avoid using this amp if your car has the auto-stop/restart feature. It is too sensitive to the voltage fluctuations that occur during this cycle. I would use a different one, but it is literally the only 4-channel amp I found that has built in adjustable bass boosting EQ for all speaker channels, speaker-level ins, and is also small enough for me to hide in a space inside the dash. I needed this to add low-end while also avoiding adding a sub that I didn't really have space for. I will say though, now that the install is working I am really happy with the audio upgrade.
