No, chances are that it is a resonant frequency issue. Meaning when the subs hit a specific frequency with enough amplitude, it causes the laser sled to resonate and the skip occures. Look at a Eclipse cd player that has a laser sled frequency resonant point of 19hz. Most other cd players have a resonant frequency up around 65 hz from what I remember.

Also check your ground for your HU. I had a bad ground goin to my old HU, and whenever i would hit a bad bump, or if the bass hit hard, it would skip. Redid the ground and worked fine after that.
