If your talking about a lose ground somewhere inside the Amp the answer YES ! If your talking about a lose ground outside the amp the answer is NO !. The things that blow a sub is AC current, over powering the sub. last, AGE.

Correction...distortion can blow a sub faster than overpowering it. But if you have a loose ground connection inside the amp you may want to have that repaired pretty quick.
