Is the CD Player a remote unit or is it in the Head Unit ? a little bit more information might help. Brand name ?. did you check the grounds.

Assuming that you have a seperate Head Unit and CD Play in the rear somewhere...
When you hit the Bump, does the whole system lose power or just the communicate between the Head Unit and Remote CD Player. How is the remote CD Player mounted ? as manufactor suggested ? etc..

Kinda sound like the CD Play can't handle the shock from the bump.. How stiff is your suspension ?
