[QUOTE="Bumpin' Goalie, post: 6722270, member: 616941"] Since the problem occurs when "hitting hard" it is possible that the 70amp alt and his under-hood batt are not able to maintain suitable voltage for the amp. The amp will go into protect when voltage drops too low. He could always measure his voltage to find out. A second battery in the back can help by having a reserve. However, a battery is like a band-aid. A better alt would cure it (given that this IS indeed the problem and the under-hood batt is of quality.) Ground could be suspect as well. But i'm guessing it's voltage, non related to the ground. Just make sure your ground is as short as possible if mounted to the chassi and on bare metal. [/QUOTE]
