Default Stereo cuts off when sub hits - kicker solo

My stereo cuts off when the bass is about to hit and entire radio cuts out not just the sub. I have added an line out converter and tapped the sub speaker wires for signal. I am running a LOC with a self powering remote turn on lead. When I have the car started is when I have the issue, with car in acc mode it's fine. Any thoughts?

check your alternator, do you have an aftermarket amp? it might be underpowered, i experience this in my old car. the stereo would cut off when the bass is about to hit or the volume is reaching high levels.

I had the same system in my previous gs too so I don't think it's underpowered. Any other ideas?
