what you want me to do is connect 1+ to 1- on opposite sides of the sub. then take the remaining + and connect it to the + on the amp, and the remaining - to the - on the amp.
ill give it a shot tomorrow. thanks for the help.

yes right now you're wired in parallel, which will either show the amp a 2ohm load or a 1ohm load (depending on whether you have the dvc 2ohm or dvc 4ohm model). Your amp isn't stable at 1ohm or 2ohm, which is why it's going into protection. You need to wire the sub in series exactly like you just described, and then you'll be running at either 4ohm or 8ohm where your amp will be very happy.
