put a meter on the sub, to make sure a voice coil isn't blown.

would it blow tho if it happened when my volume wasnt even up loud enough for the sub to be hitting

could be your ground, remote.. RCA's (signal) hmm what else

but if it was the ground or remote wouldnt the amp go to protect? cause the amp powers up and dosent go into protect

my sub kept cutting out and my amp would go in and out of protect mode. I changed the ground and it hasn't had any trouble since...................

yes, sounds like it might be the ground. check that make sure your getting a good ground connection.

hm we would be a good ground or area to look around near the trunk?

Make your own.

Scrape away paint, get a self tapping screw...and screw it in. Make sure it is clear of any obstacles (such as gas tank or exhaust) //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif.

ah ok, before i was using this metal area near the back seat sanded it and all but i ono guess it might not be good enough had its own bolt, but it was also behind part of the back seat where it was touching the seat so maybe thats why?
