That's the least I could do since so many people gave me ideas, I will definitely keep this forum for future use.

The problem was the sub, I want to thank everyone that replied with suggestions.

No, the amp doesn't go into protection mode with the speaker disconnected. Let me guess, bad speaker.

Any suggestions are appreciated, a friend told me to reposition the ground and I'll try that when it quits raining

I'll do it as soon as it quits pouring down rain, I'm aggravated enough without getting soaked

The speaker wire is 12 ga and is new, the sub is rated at 400 watts rms, yes I know 1500 is overkill so I have the amp turned all the way down. I don't know what the max wattage rating is.

I have a JL Audio 12" sub with a SSL 1500 watt single channel amp, my head unit is a Boss bv8685. My amp will power up but the sub only hits once then the amp goes into protection mode, can anyone help me diagnose this issue?
