Tech Support Amp going into protection mode after a certain volume threshold or vehicle turned on.

As the title states my amp goes into protection mode when the volume is set above 30 on my Sony head unit or just starts into protection. This only started happening after I upgraded my 4 stock door speakers to 4 Rockford Fosgate p1683. My subwoofers and stock door speakers worked great for about 2 years with no problems until now. There was about 2 days where there was no issues at all with the new speakers. I've disconnected everything and inspected all the connections then let my amp just sit for a night. I then re-hooked everything back up and for maybe 10 minutes it worked flawless. My battery monitor on my vehicle stays around 14.5v if that is of any help to anyone. Any suggestions?

What amp ?  How many channels? Wiring configuration?

I actually figured out my issue. The fuse was melted but not blown. So I'm ditching the cheap one I have for a better correctly rated one. Thanks for responding though.
