Sounds like the amp is going into protection.

Correct impedance?  Gains set too high?

Agreed with the above.

Also, Make sure you have a good earth too as this will cause the amp to go into protect mode. Use sand paper if necessary to freshen up the earthing point.

Loose the powercap too, the system will work better.

^^^ As above, I wouldnt even consider a power cap untill your amp was well past 1000 watts

the amp is 1200w and the sub is 1000w but i might run 2 1000w sub off it

Are they RMS figures or peak. If they are peak they mean nothing.

Still loose the powercap.
