I'd say that it's drawing too much current out of that one little line...So it's shutting down.

 

And why in the world would you set it up like that? That's weird.

I wired a line converter in after my bose amp and am running two 12"s with a 500 watt amp and mine does that every once in a while as well. Check and make sure that the purple wire on the amp connector isnt grounding anywhere in the console cause that will shut down the amp as well.
