Too low of an Ohm load, bad power or ground connection, the amp is being overdriven and it is trying to protect your speakers.  Could be any of those, never heard of doodie causing an amp to go into protect.

ahhh, thats how i have it already, i thought i could wire my subs like that then wire them to the amp in bridge mode or however you say it....what does it mean if i turn the volume of my deck up then my amp shuts off and i gotta take the deck off then put it back on so it'll beat aain?...
Wait... So you say you wired BOTH woofers in parallel, and then you STILL bridged the amp? That's .5 ohms, dude, as in ONE HALF OHM. Four times what the amp is designed to run. Wire them in stereo mode, with one woofer on each terminal. i am an idiot even told you to not bridge the amp.

If you did it (bridged the amp) anyway, and now the amp is doing things it didn't USED to do, then you may have damaged it. It's likely fried.
It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."
