I have three 10" subs, specs are loacted here.. http://www.soundstormlab.com/main/625 . With this amp, http://www.soundstormlab.com/main/604. Recently i wired my subs to their DVC's and since then, i cant play my subs without the amp going into the safe protection mode. I think that the amp isnt producing enough to supply the subs anymore and i was wondering which direction i should be going in to find a new amp. Thank you for your comments in advance.

You have the subs wired incorrectly and you are overloading the amp.  The amp is rated for 4-ohms or higher in mono (bridged) so you need to wire like this:

As far as which direction you should be going, I recommend getting rid of Soundstorm equipment because it is really low-quality and replacing it all with something better.
