jammed is the key word lol.you need to find a place to bolt it to before you continue to run ur system.

if your speakers can dim your lights i say its a bad ground at the front

 

[xkennyx69 10+ year member]

what do u mean? what ground?

 

[Bass Addict 10+ year member]

maybe,but he still needs to fix the back one first

 

[xkennyx69 10+ year member]

yea i know that, but what ground in the front?

 

[Bass Addict 10+ year member]

what do u mean? what ground?

the battery maybe ?

I doubt the stock battery ground has anything to do with it with the low amount of power he has.. the back ground not being secured is the problem.. ground location has nothing to do with the electronics it affects.. he has an open circuit each time the ground disconnects.. im surprised you aren't blowing fuses yet.. or starting a fire..disconnect your amp until you get this solved..
