How have you wired the amp? Did you take an earth lead back to the battery or or you using a nearby point on the chassis?
I was planning to possibly go with a 250/1 and 300/4 or 450/4, but to mount them in the small well in the boot and cover them with a grille. (and yes, wire both terminals back to the battery.)

Are you able to experiment with leaving te amp in place and moving the sub or leaving the amp on, but disconnecting the speakers?

Class D amp? I'm not sure about the JL, but I know my Class T (which was Zapco's class D using a Tripath chip) could mess with the reception of cars next to me :D. If your JL is a class D, consider yourself lucky you get any reception at all.
