First Tim, Subs do not "push" watts. Your amp does that. The subs receive whatever is given to them by the amp.

This sounds like either you have the amp wired at too low of an ohm load causing it to go into protect, you are clipping your amp causing it to go into protect, or the amp is just bad.

Whatis your gain set at? What subs and amp are you running? How are the subs wired up? These must be answered in order to help you.
