I'd put money on a bad ground with voltage issues, without seeing it for myself.
How would I check the voltage? It should be drawing 14v?

I had the same issues with a craigslist buy a few years ago. Guy said he just wanted to get out of the sub game. Amp mounted to box, and I had a wiring kit already installed in my car...plug and play. After a few days I noticed, that if I played anything that would hit hard, or turned it up very much, the amp would shut down and light up a protect LED. Ended up being unable to handle 2 ohm load. I sold that amp and bought another that could handle the load. That guy had bought the amp, sub and speakers at the local stereo shop and they didn't catch it.
J2-250.1 - Car Audio - Amplifiers - J2 - JL Audio Well it says that is, but it would play fine at really low levels and then shut off after a big hit or if I turned it up moderately loud. I ended up getting the 500.1 as a replacement, it worked really well.
Wait... did you change subs or just add a second of the same one?
Try all things mentioned in the thread before getting a new amp. Let us know the results.
Having trouble finding where the grounded the amp. The amp is mounted under my drivers seat and the ground runs under my carpet
I don't see any bare metal, unless they did it to the exact size of the ring terminal. (which I highly doubt) When I do it, it typically is at least 1" by 2" just so I know I have enough contact. This could easily be your issue.
