[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 351721, member: 550915"] The impedance of your individual subs are irrelevant. What is relevant is the final load that the amp "sees." Your amp is stable to 2 ohms. Your subs happen to be 4 ohms each which when wired in parallel results in a 2 ohm load. You could get the same final impedance from 4 8ohm subs in parallel or 2 1 ohm subs in series. That is all the amp cares about, final impedance. Most likely, your amp is cutting out because you have your amp gain set too high, you have the bass boost turned up, your power/ground connections are inadequate, or some combination thereof. These will cause the amp to overheat, draw too much current or dip the voltage supply and put the amp in protect mode to keep it from self destructing. [/QUOTE]
