First, put a proper terminal on the cable end with an inline fuse on the power cable, or you're going to burn your car to a crisp.
Ok, with that out of the way... You're probably not getting enough current through the power cable with the way it's currently attached. Is your ground cable the same size as the power feed? Attached to some nice shiny bare metal? Where are you getting the signal from for the RCA's, if you can't find the amps for the Mach system? They should be under the rear deck attached to the speaker enclosure. If that's not there and you don't have tweeters on your doors, next to the mirrors, it's not the Mach system.

Check the ground too, a bad ground will also cause that. Also...what kind of amp is this? Please don't say Sparkomatic.
:Teh-Win:
as stated before, put the proper size terminal wring and then bold it to your battery. i don't even really know what else to say lol. get your wire fixed also what is the rms of the amp? and power and ground both same awg? do you have any eletrical upgrades?
