amp problem

Hi there I have a Lanzar heritage htg 244 amp(below)
LANZAR HERITAGE HTG244 AMPLIFIER*::*CAR AMPS (2 CHANNEL)*::*Car Amplifiers*::*AUTOTOYS
Running this subwoofer i dont know of the brand(also see below)



My problem is that when the bass thumps loud it puts the amp into protect mode, the wiring is sufficient size and the ground is well earthed, the only thing i'm not sure of is how i wired the sub, it has 2 sets of terminals which i just bridged from the amp, poss to poss to poss and same with the neg.
What could be my problem here?
Thnaks in advance for your help.

The four post are for the voice coils your sub seems to be a dvc, althought i''ve never seen those before. By the number on the magnet (RA-12d4), usally means the sub is a daul 4ohm voice coil. Now according to Ohms Law, wiring POS + POS, an NEG + NEG, on 4 ohm load drops the load to a 2 ohm load. So once you bridge your amp it drops the load again so your amps reading a 1 ohm load. An they're are only a few hcca amps that can play at a 1 ohm. I have'nt seen Lanzar amps ever handle a 1ohm load. So to fix your problem try wiring your speaker in series (POS + NEG POS + NEG). this should bring the load fom the speaker to 4 ohms, an the amp'll read 2 ohms. So you should'nt have the problem with the clipping. I hope that helps you out, sorry i tend to run my mouth alot.
