Im a little confused on your setup.. From what you saying it sounds like your trying to hook up the factory amp to a kicker L7.. Not to sure what the factory amp power rating is but im 100% percent sure it wont power a Kicker L7 to its optimal power ratings.. The only way your radio would be shutting off from the sub is if you had accidentally had the amp sending signals to the head unit or you blew a fuse.. TBH i need more information to help you out.. Check Grounds!

What amp are you using?

Are you getting 12 or more Volts at the cable going to the amp from the battery?
Are you getting 12 or more volts at the remote wire coming from the head unit when turned on, and 0 when turned off?
Check ground by checking continuity.
