Well, it's directly connected to the battery and the battery is pretty new, but I'll check it out just in case that is the problem. Do you also think the ground hookup might have something to do with it too? Let me know.

It sounds like a bad ground to me. I would try shortening the ground length or finding a better spot to ground. Also check all the speaker wires you may have a bare spot wore in one and when the radio is turned up (more vibration) it is causing the wire to ground out which is not a good thing.

I got a 1990 Honda Accord running a Pioneer 780watt 2 channel amp.

Thanks, I'll check that out, I was thinking that that was the problem. I'll try to see if that is the problem. If it is not, I'll come back for more help.
