AMP problem

I just got a new amp and some subs. 1000 watt kenwood amp and 2 12 kenwood speakers. My amp isn't even turned up all the way and it will over heat under 10 seconds if i turn it up and try to bump. Is there anything i can possibly do to make it to where it won't overheat instantly?
Thanks

get better amp, but u might not have that choice umm. when u say amp is not turned up are u refering to the volume or the gains and also where is the amp mounted. and what ohm load is it seeing. what guage size wiring are u using

Sounds like subs are wired wrong. Check the manual to see how they should be wired.
