[QUOTE="BOOMINGRANDPA, post: 8583324, member: 671921"] what i saw says amp is only 2 ohm stable, u saying subs are 4ohms each, my guess is they are dual 4 ohm wired 2 ohm each = a 1 ohm load amp won't do that.. thats y amp is protecting itself find out if subs are dual 4 ohm if so u either need 2 d2 ohm subs wired to 4 ohms each or wire yours to 8ohm each = a 4 ohm load u only get 1/2 amps power but it won't cut off.. if the subs are single 4 ohm subs then u probably have gain set to high (never set it past 1/2 way) or hu volume to high either will send clipped signal never set hu volume more than about 80% (so if it goes to 35 don't go past 28) also make sure amp grounding point has no paint under it and it wire won't move make sure it's tight..
