I just hooked up my 2 12" subwoofers in my vehicle. However, I will plug the amp into the battery and the car will just die after a few minutes of play. Even when its running. Somebody said it is my groundwire being too long. Could this be possible?

definetly upgrade the big 3 first. then take a good look at your alternator and check out www.excessiveamperage.com. trash the optima batteries the other guy recommended, and go get yourself an everstartt maxx if your strapped for cash. if cost isnt an issue, consider a kinetik or a battcap.
i doubt its your groundwire being 'to long'. only thing i can recommend about your groundwire is that it should be the same gauge as your power wire, but that wouldnt cause your car to die completely, just added information.

curiously such as you have a undesirable floor connection or a loose connector in the decrease back of the sprint. A fundamental wiring harness is likewise rubbing someplace additionally. If there are a variety of of blown fuses then a rubbing harness is likewise the respond. it could desire to be attainable which you have a fundamental computing gadget undertaking. between the main necessary matters I even have obvious with GM vehicles is from the element positioned up battery. If the connections do not look clean and tight then you definately'll improve all sorts of peculiar matters. the applicable voltage code think ofyou've have been given is likewise a hallmark of the battery dropping connection. If the vehicle is strolling and likewise you eliminate or loosen the battery connection the the voltage will spike. additionally look into the capacity twine on the alternator and ascertain it particularly is clean and tight. If a fundamental capacity twine rubs the physique it could additionally reason outstanding matters as stable. enable me understand what you come across.

You are just sucking too much power. Time for a split charge system and some Optima Yellow Top deep discharge batteries in the trunk?
Most modern cars have at least a 45A or 55A alternator, so you should have at least 4-500W. If you are using that sort of power then you aren't going to be able to support that load in the long run.
But if you aren't then you should be able to run it so you might have a charging system fault.

Your car's ignition system requires a specific level of voltage/amperage to continue to operate.
Ignition systems are designed to run below full power and all have a "ballast resistor" that drops voltage down so that during starting, it can be bypassed while the starter draws significant power from the battery.
Sound system amplifiers suck a significant amount of electrical power away from the car's system, and without a more powerful alternator, you (evidently) can't run your new toy.

Sounds more like your alternator isn't charging enough to handle the extra loud. Good idea to take it and have your alternator checked out.

It's not the ground wire being too long. It could be the wrong guage wire.
Upgrade the big 3 and you'll be fine.
Wire, alternator and battery.
This will help:
