A very common mistake many installer do, they take a regular stereo amp that is not stable to lower than 4 ohms bridged, and wire two 4ohm subs in parallel to it! I've seen this a thousand times and it is wrong, it will casue the amp to over heat quick, clip, shut down and eventually blow or blow the subs with it.
Another posibility, one of the speakers/subs has a faulty voice coil that shorts the amp out forcing it to go into protection.
Another possibility, your amp is not getting enough
"juice" :current and voltage that it requires to run efficiently.
Another posibility, your ground wire on the amp is not connected to a clean paint-free surface on the car chasis.
There are more possibilities, but I've mentioned the most common.

Check all of your wiring to and from the amp. Check your speaker outputs on the amp, sometimes if the wire is touching the frame of the amp, the protection light will come on. Also check to my sure no wieres are crossed, including the speaker wires. Good Luck

reduce the number of speakers and shorted speaker wires. Turn the voloume down and just hook up two speakers to two channel amps. Then buy more ampfliers.
