what do you mean by cutout? like are you listening to music at a loud level then the amp turns off for a few minutes? or is the amp shutting off everytime the bass hits hard and then turning back on a few seconds later?

is there any protect lights on the amp turning on? have you tried putting a dmm on the power to the amp to make sure its not losing voltage to the amp?

Only way you can wire both of those subs to that amp using all coils is series parallel for a 4 ohm load.

Seems like you may have it at a 1 ohm load...amp cannot handle that load
