check all wire connections...power, ground, rem, etc.

what voice coils do those 12's have? and how do you have them wired? (you may be giving the amp too low of a load.)

the 12's have dual voice coils and i have each speaker wired straight to the amp, i dont understand what you mean by "how do you have them wired?" all connections look good, fixin to change rings on grund and power to amp wires

Your amp needs viagra.
As for your problem, if you have DMM, measure the speaker's resistance. Are they DVC or SVC?
An amp will shut down if the ohm is too low on the subs. Also a short in the speaker wires could also cause the problem.
