Crazy Amplifier issue....
This weekend, I finaly hooked up my amp and sub. Hooked everything up right and of course I drained the battery setting the stereo. Got the battery re-charged and all was good. Well today while I was driving, my car stalled for a quick second then was fine and then all of a sudden the battery guage maxed out and the check guages light came on. So I pulled over and disconnected the amp. Battery guage went back to normal and no issues. Could it be grounded bad. I grounded it to the metal tire mount but I am thinking I should have mounted it right to the bare metal on the body. Could this be what is causing my battery issue?

I know, but usually something doesn't work at all if it's not grounded properly, so if it works I would assume it's a good ground..

It just doesnt make sense that the battery guage will shoot up in high RPMs and check guages light pops on. When I stop the guage drops back to 14 and the guages light turns off. When I disconnect the amp everything goes back to normal.
