i have a pair of orion hps that handle 500rms each running on a power acoustik lt-980.2. the amp pushes 560 rms at 4 ohms bridged. i was on my way home from work and it was working fine. ive had it hooked up for over a year and its been working fine. i took my back seat completely out as soon as i got home from work and wanted to see what it sounded like without a back seat in and it was goin into protect mode on and off every 1-2 seconds. can someone please help me?

Your amp probably has one or more shorted output transistors. If you have a digital meter and some soldering skills, I can probably help you to get it working.

i figured it out. in the process of back seat removal i knocked my gronund loose somehow. anyway i moved the location of the ground and reconnected and it worked. i feel like a pet monkey for not checking that first. anyway thanks.
