my amp keeps going into protect

[supa93poo]

my amp sucks.Its hooked up to a 10 inch boston acoustic. my amp by the way is a sony 760x2 it plays fine at low volume with low bass.

i've had 3 amps hooked up to it so far and they all went into protect mode. i wired it all right. i checked it 9 thousand times.

i ran it in bridged mode on all the amps and it went into protect mode on every one. i then ran it on 1 of the two channels and every one still did it. i was wondering if it could be the wire size?

i am running 8 guage wire for both the ground and the battery wire. it is running 400 watts peak when it is bridged and somwhere around 250-300 RMS. i also have house entertainment rca's hooked up but i dont know if there is a difference. i think the other rca's that i have were a little thicker. would that matter at all? i also have the power wire fuse probably about 8 inches from the amp. i dont know if that matters at all. PLEASE HELP ME IT IS DRIVING ME CRAZY thanks

the specs on my amp are

impediance: 2-8 ohms(stereo)

exactly what specs do u want. all i know about the speaker is that it is a 10 inch boston. not dual voice coil. sealed box.

the amp is 760 watt sony xplod. the amp is 380x1 monaural

and around 190x2 for RMS. the speaker impedance on the paper says 2-8 ohms(stereo) 2-8 ohms(when bridged) maximum output is 300wx2 at 4 ohms and 760 monaural at 4ohms. it has hi and low pass and i think full pass too but it says off. and a low boost it is adjustable from 0-10db thanks help me please
