Second, hopefully you have not screwed the amp chassis into the factory metal. It is best to isolate the amp chassis from direct contact with the vehicle chassis. You can get noise in the signal and in one instance in 2006, I had damage to some JL Audio amps when stray voltage killed a couple amps slowly. Once I isolated the metal amp rack from the actual car metal, the replacement amps were fine and the noise in the audio was gone. I still own those amps today.
In order to isolate the amp from the chassis you can mount a wooden board to the truck and mount the amps to the board. Easy peasey!!

I appreciate the insight. I'm new to stereo installation. I will address this asap. Thank you!!
