So yeah, I have a problem.

System was running fine last night and this morning but for some random reason now the amplifiers keep cutting on and off(especially at higher volumes). The highs and mids static in and out and now the subwoofer amplifier won't even come on at all.

What could the problem be?

Check all connections, other than that... you could have to much vibration and caused something inside the amp to break

Alright, its not protection mode. Gains are set to a little over half on both amplifiers, I'm guessing most likely its the ground/grounding position, vibration may be shaking loose or disconnected it, most likely.

The problem is, this new box is 55" long, and the ground is located on the chassis behind the seat on the floor on the far left. So theres a good chance that the box may be sitting on it when it vibrates heavily, the ground messes up.

Sure enough, its the ground, and it also seems that the whole area around the ground is scorched and burnt.
