The only other thing you can check is the actual impedence using a meter. Even though voice coils could be listed as 4 ohm they could be as low as 3.2ohms which means your overall bridged could be around 1.5ohms throwing it into protection. Measure the ohms at the speaker leads into the amp. If it is much lower then 2 this could be the problem.
