Well I figured that maybe I had it wired up to a lead that loses power after 40 seconds at first, but then I tested it with a few others and the same thing happened continuously. So just to confirm that was the problem, I wired the turn on lead to a switch and had the switch wired to direct power (this is how the setup sits now.) After turning on the car and turning on the switch, the amp and sub turn on, but once again they turn off after a certain allotted amount of time, even when receiving direct signal to turn on.
