it can be anything. just go back and check every connection to see if they're secured.

I'm thinking it's the amp that's turning off and on.

hahaha f you. lol, no but the mace was in a breathe spray bottle and he didnt belive it was mace so when i told him to go ahead and spray it in his mouth, he spayed me instead. lol

but anyway, i hooked my system up myself. it has worked perfectly fine for the past 8 months up until tuesday when i rewired my headunit to the bose speakers(i finally got sick of the static). now they seem to be working perfectly fine, then randomly shut off for a couple seconds, then kick back on...

oh and also, once i rewired the headunit to the bose i lost control of my subwoofers from my headunit. i can leave it at subwoofer: 0 or subwoofer: max and there will be no difference. i used the same grounding point as before too so i dont see where the problem would have occured? i mean, unless i suck and plugged things in wrong behind the deck...which i dont think is the case (but ill probably double check tomorow anyway)

noone has a clue? (and no, i did not do the wiring after i got maced..dont worry)

EDIT: oh yea and i checked all the connections and they all look fine...it shouldnt matter that i have bare wire runnin into my amp right? (like, there are none of those metal connectors (terminals? maybe?) on the ends of the wire)

You've gotta be f@cking kidding me....

No, terminals on the wire into the amp make no difference whatsoever, they just make it easier/nicer looking.

I think the best thing for you to do is step back and tell us EXACTLY how you wired your HU into the Bose system.

i wired it into the headunit by splicing the wiring harness to RCA's and plugging them into the preamp outputs on the headunit...i used kpr10is's directions on page 2 of the audio FAQ page

Check your connections. Mebbe one of em is loose behind the HU, remote wire perhaps is kicking the amp on and off. Also as far as independent control of the HU, you would have to run the sub preout of your A/M HU to the pre-in of the sub by the rear deck.
