2 JLaudio 12" W6's
JLaudio 1000/1 amp
0/1 gage all the way back and 4 gage from alt. to batt.

If your going to go to the trouble of changing the ground you may as well do everything you think will help ie: dedicated circuit from batt fused and if your not sure what size check your owners manual or the alpine site .
I had this happen to me and it wasnt the deck gound or power leads it was the altenator not charging the battery properly

Disconnect the remote wire from your sub amp (ie - your subs won't run)
Crank the volume up to where it normally turns off or higher. If the Deck still shuts off - you know the problem is with the speakers connected to the deck. If the deck doesn't shut off it is a voltage drop when the subs are running.
