Sounds like you have a weak battery.

How have you wired the amp?  Is it earthed to a clean point? The live should be fused direct feed from the battery.

Is the headunit connected correctly to the amp/sub? Has the original stereo wiring been butchered?

Is the live on the headunit going to the right connection on the car harness?
