and my amps cut off. Is it 2 much? I believe that it is too much power because it's such a small battery, but the amps are only 340 watts. I didn't start my car for like a week and it started doing this. PLEASE Help me. It might also be my ground wire.
 
From only what youve told me it could be a million things.

First make sure your ground is AWSOME. Its vital, drill a couple holes in a steal plate n screw it in there if you have to n make sure its grounded to something that makes unpainted contact with the greater portion of the car.

At those wattages it shouldnt be too much for the cars battery unless your running it off of a lawnmower batt er something.. But if you find it doesnt happen with all your power accessories/heater off n does happen when you have alot of stuff on, the battery might be going bad or the alternator may not be able to keep up.

If it happens only or mostly when the car is moveing, its probably a bad connection somewhere.

If it happens mostly/only when the volume is high, it could be your ground or the amps could be getting too hot which can be caused by alot of things.
 
your car only uses the batt. at start up.the altenator takes over when the car is running.yes those amp's are drawing to much power!upgrade to a aftermarket altenator,stinger makes a really good one.make sure you use a good ground wire too.use top rated rca cables to!
