I had that issue too... mine did it thanks to a stupid mistake I made. What was it? The circuit board in the passive crossovers were rattling like mad against the plastic housing, so I used some FatMat to stick the circuit board's corners to the plastic housing. The stuff heated up and fell on the resistors on the circuit board, and was shorting my amp.

Charming story.

A 4 gauge going into the amp, but only a 14 gauge ground? Yeah, you need to match the power and ground cable gauges. Also, your ground cable needs to be 3 feet or less.
