Try unhooking the factory speakers.

They are usually low ohm, and they could be destabilizing the amp.

how come you dont just wire each speaker to each channel instead of bridging them?..if your bridging them your just gonna make your amp go into protect mode no matter what you do man...how many speaker do you have wired into this amp?
