what would cause my subs to just quit when i turn my radio past a certain level?.... Is it just too much for them, or a wire problem?

Can't say for certain, but it sounds like the amplifier driving the
subs is going into thermal/current protection. What do you have to do
to make the subs start playing again?

It could be bad wiring leading to undervoltage shutdown, low speaker
impedance causing overload, or a wire rubbing against the car chassis.
You'll have to do some more investigation.

The subs are 12" sony explods and the amp is an mtx but im not sure what the wattage is on the amp. the subs are 900watt i believe. I notice yesterday that the place i had my old system installed at had it grounded to the bottom of the trunk, and the screw was a little loose. When i pulled up on the wire the subs would hit pretty hard then quit. The reply to the person who asked how i got them to kick again, i just turned the radio back down a little and the would kick again.

You don't want a loose ground regardless if that's the problem, fix your
ground.
