Yes, that is capable of turning the amp on. A simple grounding job may be adequate if grounding a subwoofer amp;When powering amps that power full-range speakers always do a detailed grounding job. ALWAYS sand more than enough area to bolt doun a grong point. I have a sedan, so it may not be exactly the same. Try removing the rear seats far enough to sand down a large area around the bolts to the rear seats. Once you see the nice shiny metal, put the sats back in while placing the gold buss bars on the bolts inbetween the bare metal and the seat frame. I have three short gold buss bars sticking from the seats and towards the trunk. One perpandicular one to connect the amp grounds three ground points on the rear of the seat. A shorter disance from the amp& more ground points=better. In some situations it may be necesarry to ground the sub amp at a different ground poin, to prevent feedback in the the full-range amp.
Also try investing in some pro home-audio RCA's they are a-lot better insulated, even if u do buy them fro Big-Lots. Always run the Rca's under the carpet down the middle of the car.
