Have had an issue with my amp for a little while now. Last nite I gave it some much needed attention and pretty much narrowed down when it shuts off to being the ground wire.

I stripped new wire out and made sure all connections were snugg.

Now when the amp stop playing the power light stays on however if I wiggle the ground wire on the amp side a bit it will come back on. WTF?!?!

Never had this issue before.

oh btw its a JL 500/1 v1.

wiggle on amp side and it's flaky? sounds like internal to amp GND contact is not 100%. might wanna try and open the amp to just inspect.

and where are you grounding the amp on the car? is it a sold bare metal place?

Took it back to best buy, they pinned it down to the connector between the vehicle and the cable. They replaced and again I am shaking cars all around me!
