[QUOTE="jrwalte, post: 4619534, member: 584454"] It's most likely your ground. I'm sure they picked a shitty spot. And depending on your length of wire, 4g is pushing it for 1450RMS. 2g+ would be better. To test the ground you could take a run of 4g from the front bat negative to the amps and see if it doesn't shut off. You should also get a DMM if you don't have one to see what your voltage is doing under heavy loads. But as said, you'd be best off upgrading to a larger wire size. 1/0 is the next common step up.
