well i hope u read this b4 the faggots delete this aswell but yes goes into main power lead just before the amp this will give the amp the extra power it needs for the big hits

I have the same problem but someone has told me to look at the conection of the earth, have you scratched off the paintwork where the earth is attached to the car? if you have'nt try it coz that is most probably the problem. Hope this helps.

9 times out of 10 it's cos the amp is clipping, you've got the gain turned upto much and it clips out, turn the gain down or don't turn the volume up so much.

sounds to me like the gains up two much. then again if ur using more power than can be supplied to the amp it may cut out n not come back on cos of a protective circuit. therefore when the head units switched of n then back on, ur remote with turn the amp off and on resetting the circuit. a dodgey earth can have the same affect - dodgey been not a loose wire but a poor conection or inadequate guage wire. ur earth should be a larger guage than ur positive. next time it does it see if the earth or positive are warm, this will indicate if ur wires two thin.
