main thing to check is all the power and ground leads. Maybe the amp is going into protection. Try turning down the gains and see how things go from there.
Just a question. What brand of sub and amp are you running and what is the power rating for them both.

I have heard alot of bad thing about the new fusion gear. My advise would be,
Just play around with the gains. The is no use of having them turned all the way up.
What gauge power kit are you running?

if it is a 4 gauge kit, there shouldnt be any problem, Is the amp mounted in the boot or under the seat?

ok. check all cables and make sure you have a really good earth on it. Sometime a bad earth will make the sub come on and off.
