My subs will get like disconnected for a few seconds when I hit a bump or something, and then in a few seconds they kick back in. I don't really feel like cheching my wiring since I am gonna upgrade to 4 guage soon what could be the problem?

Most likely something in the wiring. check the wiring to the terminals, as well as the wiring on each of the coils of the subs. also check amp connections. Is it possible for you to see if the amp is shutting off when this happens?

well if ur sure its bumps, otherwise there can be reasons dealing with ur amp.. etc etc etc

the amp dosen't shut off and my speakers and h/u are still working. Maybe I should take the subs out of the box and check the wiring. Or I might just wait until I finish my new box.

It's most likely you have a loose connection. Also do you have your amp mounted or just sitting there?

well check wires, but like i said, if its also when ur on a smooth road > if their bumpin kinda loud your electrical might not keep up with the amp, cause ur subs to come and go.
