Im not sure

Quick questions , k i smashed up my explorer and baught a 90 regal , i put my 2 power t1's in with the Zx 1500.1 and the cap now wen i trun it up half way on the deck with gains on bout 3/8 my cap spazzes out and turns off and then back on and the amp just goes offline then back on .. but if i stay below a certain volume its ok ... it never once did this in the explorer(i use to have gain bout 5/8 and be able to put deck 3/4). Any general ideas on what might be the cause? i have considered maybe the cap is fried so its shorting out or even a problem with my grounds? any input would be very appreciated. ty
