sub turns off?

My guess is that the amp is going into protect because of improper settings(low voltage) or improper impedence(to low).

It was one positive to other pos and one negative to other neg and then so each pos and neg to amp.I was thinking it went into protective mode too..but don't amps only go into protective mode when they overheat?

Well problem solved. That amp takes 4 ohm and your wiring it to 1. An amp doesn't have to over heat or shut off if there is to low of an ohm. It can just not really play

Hook a positive from one side of the sub to the negative on the other side and then the positive and negative that are left hook to the amp..........so a neg from one side of the sub and a pos from the other side and connect the other neg and pos together with a short wire. And you will be good
