PowerBoost 1000 flashing red LED

I have finished wiring my GBZ and tested it out and it was working well.

I left it to charge and came back and tried to play it again, and found that there is a red LED flashing on the powerboost. It doesn't seem to be flashing in any pattern and flashes quite quickly.

I am also getting the little rainbow icon on the LCD which I think means the that PI is detecting low voltage.
I have it connected like so:

The Pi, amp and LCD are then connected to the power strip.
The power strip is a DIY one with some wire on a breadboard, coated in solder.
I only added the second connection from the PowerBoost to the power strip because of the low voltage icon showing up.

Any ideas?

After some more testing it seems to be flashing in tune with the audio. Weird.

Disconnected the amp and it seems fine.

Having heaps of problems with these amps. Anyone know why the amp would cause this problem? What amps are people using if they don't have an AIO?

Thanks!
