Hello Briankt69,
Ot two issues, First the AMP is going into a protection mode this means that it is drawing too much current. As netrecov said you need a capacitor, this will oppose the rapid current draw, by allowing the voltage to remain constant. However I would also sugget that you rewire the setup to manufatures specification and make sure that all grounds and supply leads are installed properly. Taking into mind the the 4awg wire has less cross sectional surface than the 2 or 0 AWG wire causing it to have more resistance this is power loss in this case (follow the specifications).
I hope this helps
Thank you,

It's likely that the amp has blown output transistors. To eliminate other possible problems, read through the following page:

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Your current alternator is strained and cannot give the required current draw of your amp. Most aftermarket amps have exterior fuses. Try adding these up for a round-about current draw number. I would bet that your amp is killing the availible power from the electrical charging system of your car. You could always go up to a higher fuse, (I run a 200 amp breaker) bu this will only make your stereo work and your alternator fail prematurely. Try searching ebay or go to ohio generator for a stronger output alternator.
