If it goes into protect with the sub wires removed (RCAs connected or not), thats not a good sign. What type of amp is it?

just for reference, what speakers, what voice coils and how are they wired to the amp, and what kind of amp? 2ch? 2ohm stereo stable?

Also, generally if you connect another amp and the problem is solved then that eliminated the rca's, but you could have had your subs wired too low and burned the amp up, also its a Pyle amp, no offense but thats scraping the funk off the bottom of the barrel when it comes to car audio amplifiers.
