I drive a 97 Acura EL ..my sub or amp keeps cutting in and out whenever i go over a bump... or if i'm angled goin up a steep driveway....

My remote connection is fixed kinda weird.. cause the people that installed my deck stripped the bolt.. so now my deck is permanently stuck (any suggestions on getting it out??) so now I had to connect the remote wire to my fuse box specifically my power window fuse.

I've tugged on the remote connection a few times while listening to music and it seems fine.. I've shaken the amp too and still no problem.. I'm wondering if it could be my ground point.

Right now i have it connected to a bolt on the corner of my back seat... where do all you connect your ground cable in the trunk...

any suggestions on what my problem may be??

 

Make sure that you have sanded down all the paint on your grounding point to ensure the best possible ground. To ensure a true ground, test for continuity between the ground point and the negitive terminal on your battery. To remove stripped screws you can drill the top of the screw with a bit roughly the same size as the screw and it should break off easily. With the sub/amp cutting out I would check your remote turn on wire as well as the rca cables to the amp.

 

Actually now that i look on teh manual the deck doesn't haev a remote wire connection... how do people usually connect the remote wire???

I have a Pioneer DEH-P5800MP

 

its the blue wire on the deck, aka power antenna wire, aka remote wire
