Default amp cuts out

ok i have an eclipse head unit and a clairion 5 band eq running to 3 amps. two of my amps work great but the sub amp keeps cutting off when i turn the sound up to bump. its just a temp, but ill have to keep it for a while. any way i think its an Aura amp and i have it bridged at about 1/2 gain(it is brigeable). any ideas, oh i also have a 1/2 fared cap mated to it.

the protection light comes on. right now as far as subs go i have a junk *** sony xploder(i blew the punch xlt i had)so im not sur what that means. the other i had hooked up burned up(but it was a explode also so i just figured it was time to go as they are junk as well). but like i said it works fine until i get over like 1/3 volume.

ah!!

what model is it? It is the Mono amp that's "able to run 3 subs"? If it's like 2 model years old, the amp i bet is shot. We had nearly every one of those we sold come back with that exact problem, and the funny thing is the ppl were only running 2 subs (2 ohm load) and not even the 3 it's suppose to be able to handle (what... 1.66666 ohms, correct?)
