i hooked up a 2ch amp to a 12 sub and the wireing kit i used was a 4ch kit. the radio works with the sub but when i put in a disk the amp shuts off. why? is it the wiring kit?

does ur head unit have 2 sets of pre-amp output or one set of pre-amp outputs?
Did u plug in all 4 RCA cables in the head-unit since u used a 4ch amp kit..

BTW i don't think there should be any problem if you use a 4 ch kit on a 2 ch amp .. the only thing is to use only 2 wires of the RCA instead of all 4.
