And turn it back on my stero comes on but the sub (10 inch kicker) wont work, and my speakers dont have bass anymore either, but if I go and unscrew and wiggle the ground wire and screw it back in to the amp it works, until next time I turn the car off again then I have to do it over again. Any ideas how to fix this?

Check the other end of the ground, where it hooks to a good (unpainted) spot? Maybe try some different wire?

sounds like a bad ground. the amp goes into protection mode. i had the same problem on another car i was working on....grind the ground location (where the screw and hole are) until you see about a 2 inch diameter around the hole of metal only. this might be overkill on the amount to remove but it never hurts to try.

and make sure your ground wire less than 3 feet.take some sand paper and sand area where screw is
