[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8575066, member: 650438"] either over driving the amp or there's a short somewhere or you wired the subs wrong. Gain settings at minimum can still overdrive an amp if the head unit's pre-out voltage is strong enough that means you already telling the amp to make more power than its capable of and its giving a dirty signal generating a lot of heat causing the amp to trip multiple protection circuits. Try unhooking the subwoofer and only play the mids and highs. If it still does it then you can eliminate the subs being wired wrong. Make sure your EQ is flat, Loudness is off and no bass boost on the head unit. If its not the ground then you might have a short somewhere in your speaker wiring or speaker wires get cut and stripped somewhere and its shorting out with the car as a ground. [/QUOTE]
