That's a nice clean lookin' bugeye.

In that case, it's probably a faulty amp.

Is the amp over heating when the sound system is cranked up? You might have a bad/dry solder joint on the circuitry somewhere... tbh it could be anything. I'ts hard to diagnose with a keyboard over a forum. Take it to a car audio specialist and go through the motions of what is happening, they will soon tell you what the issue is.

^ Interesting... I would like to do that 'bi-turbo' set up on my WRX, it looks mean and I'm sure it would go like the clappers over the whole RPM range.

Love the look of the twin turbo set up in this bug.

If you have the time/patience/money for a twin turbo set up... go for it.

@Josh, how much did that cost you to get fixed?

@bobbyjimmy, yes i do have a light weight flywheel.
