you are really under powering your subs and when you under power them it can be just as bad or worse than over powering them because you run a much higher risk of having your gain set incorrectly here are your sub specs= Impedance 2 ohms Dual Voice Coil Yes Sensitivity 86.7dB Frequency Response 25 – 0.5k Hz RMS Power Range (Watts) 50-400 Peak Power Handling (Watts) 800 you need an amp that has about 800watts RMS @ 2ohms here are some wiring diagrams to help you get different impedance’s (ohms) at the amp http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/woofer… you can get .5,2,or 8ohms at the amp (i would go with 2ohms to be safe) the amp is cutting out to protect it and the subs, you need more power, until then you may be safe if you reset your gain and bass boost settings Setting the “gain” or input sensitivity control is an important adjustment common to all amplifier installations.
