Your amp is advertised as being 1 ohm stable and your subs are well below that. That's most likely the problem.
Six 4 ohm svc subs = .67 ohms
Six 2 ohm svc subs = .33 ohms
I'd be amazed if your gains are set correctly too.

I need to know something about your subs. Are they 4 ohm or 2 ohm svc?

also depends on how its all wired... he could have it all in series, i doubt it, but its a possibility, your going to need to explain how you wired your subs...

they are 4 ohm and i wired them all like all positives just go straight to the positive on the amp and all the negatives go to the negatives on the amp
like this but without the green wire

The subs are wired too low. You should've been alright after box rise, but apparently there are issues. You could also have the amp set up incorrectly (bass boost and gain cranked) and it's causing overheating and/or clipping. That could make the amp go into protect.
I think you'd be alright if you eliminate 2 of the subs. The alternative is to buy an amplifier that's stable down to .5 ohms...

actually i turned the bass boost off and that let me go from 23 to 25 on the volume with out it cutting out and no its not overheating i just think it cant handle the power at the way i have it wired but i like it like that so im going to get a new amp can you send me a link to one that will power these 6 good oh and it also cut out when i had 4 wired like this
maybe i dont need a .5 ohm stable amp maybe i just need a better amp like more watts or somthing
i dont know if i can wire them different each sub is in its own chamber in the box
i thought the way i have it wired is a 2ohm load

fixed that for you //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
Box rise is different for all different frequencies and music is dynamic, meaning you shouldn't assume that the amp will always see a higher ohm load; however, some amps can handle slightly lower impedances and some cannot. I had a two channel Infinity that would just NOT do 2 ohm bridged.

wire your subs like so
just instead of three dual voice coil subs, you have six single voice coil subs. it's the same principle really

**** i have a box that holds 6 12s it barley fits in my trunk its heavy as **** and i hand screw all of them you know how much a ***** it would be to rewire them i could do it but yea i think the one guy is right kenwood amps r garbage i have a pioner 2 channel amp and it ****ing worked better but it overheated instead of cutting out for no reason at all i just want to buy a cheap amp with high watts because i just bought this kenwood thing and im not going to keep spending more money on amps and only use them for a week cause they all **** i already bought 2 amps this will be my third and the other ones just sit around

My box is harder to work on than yours, //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif.
What you're looking for isn't going to be cheap...power at 0.5 or 4 ohm
