amplifier going into protect mode help?

[Only The Best 10+ year member]

so i have a rockford fosgate prime 5 channel brand new amp.... had it for 2 weeks running off of 2 6x9's... then i put 2 more on it today and tried to run it but then it kept throwing itself into protect mode any time it tried to hit a base note like the amp wasnt able to put out enough power to push the speakers... the wires are not grounding themselves out i know that.... the amp isnt broken i know that...would maybe a line driver help the situation? the gains are only set around 4-5 out of 10 so its not being overpushed i think because it doesnt get loud enough to really hurt my ears before it starts distorting.... please help ... thank you all for your input

really are you sure? so you wired them(each set) in series to 8 ohm then parallel back down to 4ohm right?

four (4) ohm 6x9's wired to 4 ohms on a 4 channel all in the same box... wouldnt they all be just connected on the amp as you normally should? 1 pos to the pos on the amp. 1 neg to the neg on the amp
