[QUOTE="npal_77, post: 8722749, member: 681551"] Hey everyone, So I just recently switched my sub and amp to a car I just bought. It's a 05 Acura TL, which has a stereo that's difficult to remove and retain all channels/speakers. I tapped the stock subwoofer remote wire, ran that and my power to the back, tapped the stock sub's signal and ran it through a loc, and grounded the amp on the metal located under the carpeting in the trunk. Here's the issue--when I turn the car on, the amp usually turns on and functions, yet after I'm driving or sitting with the car running for a few minutes the sub will cut out. The amp's (Alpine SA60m) blue power light will be slowly flashing until I either hit a bump on the road or physically hit the amp with my hand, at which point it turns back on--only to cut out again a short while later. I checked my ground, checked my actual connections on the amp, no apparent problem. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Is it possible I have a bad ground location? or maybe one of my connections has to be cleaned/tightened? Any advice would be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
