is my amp clipping?

[Terranova 10+ year member]

i have a kicker zx1000.1 powering my Fi Q 12" with BP Power 1000 @ 2ohms. im starting to think the install is ****ed up, when i take tight corners in my truck the sub will suddenly get much louder and start to distort and bottom out. but i just sharply jerk it back the other way and it goes back to normal. same thing happens if i just pick the amp up from the back and shake it the sub gets louder and distorts. is it something to do with my grounds or is there something up with my amp?

why would you pick up the amp and start shaking it?

maybe all the fluid in the battery goes to one side and momentarily looses charge or something ?

have you checked ground from amp?

so it only happens when the amp moves? i say it's the amp (something loose, or bad connections)

check to make sure your ground is good

also, make sure that the RCA connection is good on the amp. Try to wiggle the RCA jack's where they connect to the amp while playing music.

i shook it because im trying to figure out what is causing this, so therfore shaking caused it to happen such as a tight turn its practically the same force. my RCA's are fine, my grounds should be fine, but possibly with all the shaking in the cab they came loose like 2 of the screws in my passenger seat. ill check that first. thanks guys
