I assume you are talking about an amp under the seat. Even though the way you worded it makes it sound like you put the H/U under the seat. Anyway, 18G power and ground is too small for any amp...

Does the deck lose power when it cuts off or just the sound? Where did you ground it? check your ground it sounds like it's lose...

Pics of h/u installed under seat?

 

[sinosic 10+ year member]

speakers wired right? could be the head unit cant handle a low ohm load. also check your ground, and make sure to sand the metal until its very shinny. bad ground is my quess

Specific reason for not wanting to remove the old HU?

Is the radio bolted down or is it flopping around? Make sure it's mounted solidly.
