amp went into protection mode?

[zthumper 10+ year member]

Are the subs wired parrell? If so it should be a 2-ohm load and the amp says that its stable at 1-ohm, so you should be alright there. Check ur grounds.

the ground looks good it was already in the car when i bought it used. i still am confused for the rca cables like where to i put the red plug and where to put the white plug.sorry for so many questions im trying to save money i installed everything good.it worked fine for a little bit seems like the 1 sub was hitting harder than the other. if i took it to like best buy or circuit city. would they look at it even if i didnt buy anything from them? thanx evrybody for helping

Get yourself some Y-splitters (one female end to two male ends) and use those to attach the left lead on your cables (white end) to channels 1 + 2 and then the right lead (red end) to channels 3 + 4

ok crutchfield told me that the rca cables that came with the amp kit would work fine. do they make attachments or do i need to swithc out the rca cables completley.thanx again.

Some 4ch amps require a 4ch input even to be run in bridged mode and some do not.

Try this first then:

Put your white lead into the input for Channel 1 and the red lead for the input to Channel 3 (as most amps use the left input for bridged configuration)

it works now at least for a little bit. i think i had all the levels on the amp theres like 5 of them too high.would that cause it to do that?

If the gain and bass boost were set too high then, yes the amp could overload and go into protect.

mine did that for a long time, i thought i fried something and thought about getting a new amp. Than I decided to mess around with the gain settings on my H/U and voltage input on the amp and it fixed it, now I pound the crap outta it and it has never gone into protect again.
