check your gains, grounds, wire size, voltage when it cutts off...

Ok, i think the problem was my ground. I've switched it around about 3 times and my stereo has played stronger each time. where would the ideal place be for me to ground my amp? do i need to scuff the paint off where i hook my ground to so it will conduct better? and will a good ground effect the ohm load my amp can handle in any way because it says its stable at 2ohms but it go's into protection when i wire it that way.
