it doesnt mean its wired wrong, its either wired too low for the amp or youre trying to use too much power without feeding it enough power, i sold my buddy my first amps, 250rms ea, they ran fine in my car, but over heated and popped fuses alot till he added a capacitor, as for yours, you could have done the same, most amps are 1 ohm stable, or 2 ohms stable, anything less and they work harder and overheat causing major damage, now competition amps, such as sundown, dc, fi , hifonics, american bass ect, says theyre 1 ohm stable but some can take as low as .25 ohms, my hifonics was only 1 ohm stable but played at .5 aslong you have good electrical
