Are the subs leads all correct?.. I'm reaching here, but maybe they're crossed or marked incorrectly?.. even the speaker leads touching somewhere?... wierd

Some amps are pretty sensitive about grounding properly and securely. Also will happen if the voltage is too low.

Also check for corrosion in your power/ground wire. I've seen amps go into protect when that happens too.

Shouldn't...unless the amp is bolted to metal and not on something like piece of wood.

Just confusing had amp mounted to the sub box for years no issues , redo the setup move the amp now I have problems , I think I'll check grounds and bolt amp to a piece of wood then to the floor
