going into protect mode :(

going into protect mode :(
i dont understand whats going on here
Hifonics BXi1606D amp
2 RF Punch HX2s wired to 1ohm
PG Line Driver
ive been running this setup for abit now with no issues and nothing has changed in my setup including settings and now when i have the stereo going loud the amp goes into protection most of the time, sometimes it doesnt though and when it plays fine it sounds good like it always did
gain is only at half on the amp, line driver is pretty close to maxed out...any ideas whats going on here?

Amps go into "protection" when their comparator circuit see current passing through the outputs past a designed limit.
Current can flow excessively because:
1) You have a short circuit in your speaker system. It can be as stupid as a strand of wire peaking out of a connector. Physically check all connections.
2) You have a sub that is toast. The voice coil may have sustained thermal damage and unwound off the former. This can cause it to rub on the pole, causing a short. It may be slight, but enough to cause an over-current situation.
The other option is that the protection circuitry in the amp is faulty.
There have been cases where poor current supply to the amp from your electrical system can cause this problem.
