Today, i got 2 JBL 6x9s P959 or something like that. Well i also got a Power Acoustic 620watt max amp plasmasphere. I hooked everything up making sure all grounds were right and everything, i split the power coming from my battery to my little amp and big amp. My big amp is a Soundstream 880.2 and with 2 CVR 12s . Well anyways Whenever there is a hit in the music or whenever i turn it up loud, my small amp goes into protection mode. Where as my big amp hits as if nothing has happened. Any help would be wonderful.

prolly lack of power or your gain is set too high
