Having problems with my amp and sub

[JLaudio_ECLIPSE 10+ year member]

I have a 12 Eclipse 6210 running off a TMA 500.1 and a 6 gauge wiring kit. The sub is set to a 2 ohm load which the amp is also 500 at 2ohms. So it gets so hot that you put your hand on it and it would burn it. I took it to AMS in Madison because it cut out after playing awhile and i found out that my power wire was loose so i tightened that down and my ground. They said it was old tech in the amp and they are supposed to run hot. Now a few days later (Today) it cut out again and my power wire is crushed flat but not cut; could this be the problem? I need help. Bigger wiring kit? i have a 4 gauge one on the side.

How is the power wire getting crushed? Is it getting pinched somewhere?

Yeah i ghetto rigged it its getting pinched between my hood and where it closes. And it was tuned by ams and the gain is at 0, its not needed anyways.

Gain is set to 0? I think you are mistaken. Gain should be the knob on the left. Bass boost should be at 0.

Yeah sorry i wasnt thinking but im not sure. I had a professional tune it so idk whats up. But i put in a 4 gauge wiring kit instead of the 6 guage and made sure everything was super tight. But i havnt played them yet because im nervous something will happen.
