First thing is recheck the connections, [power and ground at both ends].
If using an AGU fuse, [large glass type] in amps power lead, replace it even if it looks good.

Disconnect sub from amp and crank volume if amp does not turn off try another sub, the VC on your sub may be damaged and amp is going into protect mode. 94

What model RF amp do you have? Is it Brands new or old? What FCM said would probably trouble shoot your amp problem.

k well all fuses are checked, and replaced, i was playing with the gains and frequencys i can lower the gain and get more volume but little bass, and the same thing occurs once i turn it up the amp turns off. Its wierd cause the amp wrks perfect at 15 volume the sub wrks and itll go for hrs, i tested lol but 16 volume it shuts offs after the first note of bass and comes back on for a second and goes back off, im not sure whats goin on lol
