amp going into protect

[mtlhead 10+ year member]

So my american bass 100.1 is going into protect...i have 0awg wiring going to a 200A circuit breaker going to a 150 fuse dblock, 4 awg coming off that, 4 awg ground to 0awg

also hooked up to the circuit breaker is a voltage meter, and gauge power (for my aftermarket gauge cluster) also in the back are neons...which are not currently hooked up, but have power coming off the illumination from my headlights (when my headlights come on, so do the neons), and for some reason, my amp goes into protect sometimes, and other times it will work...voltage is sufficient, and I can't figure out whats wrong, I've tried disconnecting the voltage/gauge power, and that didnt work....please help

Well when it goes into protect there is a short somewhere in the circuit. It could be your sub wiring, ect. even the board in the amp. good luck.

k, i THINK i fixed it, im pretty sure it was just a loose connection between the dblock and the ground wiring
