shawn that's some good advice, but it doesn't really accurately describe my issues.
This is the first time my amp has not been working, and it didnt work at all until the next day (I didn't check it). My sirius usually goes out a lot and is shakey. The battery is new, but may be under powered. I still think I have a short in me and my dad's make shift wiring job. Something is rattling behind my radio too, so maybe it pulled the wire almost loose.
If checking all of those connections and battery terminal yield no results , I'll consider upgrading the power cables.

I was driving down the interstate today and got my shit pushed in from the rear. I guess that makes me a fag.

Check your ground, remote, and power cable from the amp to the radio, and from the amp to the battery. I guess start behind the radio first since you hear a rattle back there, and work you way around. Do you have a meter, or a test light?

I understand your concern greg, but I'm not quite understanding what you are saying.
