You think it might have anything to do with Ohmage on the sub?

+1, if its not the same ohms it will cause the amp to overheat/fry, we get customers all the time in our shop that did it them selves and it'll be wired for 2 ohms, when it supposed to be 1 or 4 ohms or vise versa

Sounds like the subs ohmage to me. Check the speaker wiring. Sounds like its causing your amp to cut cause its either over powering the sub. Check this Crutchfield diagram for your application.

Are you running one or two subs off a 1400 watt amp??? If your just running one i think that amp might be too much power unless the sub is wired to compensate the amp. You can always call Crutchfield too and they can talk with you about it over the phone.

thats how we wired it. but the sub has 4 positive and 4 negative terminals on it. so we have the + and - from the amp going to one set of terminals on the sub and then connected the other +s to -s on the sub. just like this pic, but theres more than 3 wires.

might be to little power or not enough

might be to little power or not enough

I was gonna say that next too. I looked at the specs on the amp and its RMS rating is 80 watts @ 4ohms. Your sub is rated at 150-350watts. Maybe its not getting enough power. Also have you checked your remote line.
