How to hook up speakers and power corectly
See the wiring diagram on page 3 of this manual: http://www.dualav.com/support/manuals/xd1225.pdf
The most important piece of the stereo is the plugin at the back with the many colored wires and the fuses and fuse holders. You are apparently missing that. There is a list on the cover to tell you which colored wires are for what. Black is ground, red is fuse then + for holding the memory orange goes to a fuse and then to your ignition to turn on with the engine etc

your speakers are of an incorrect ohmage, or you have too many speakers hooked up to it. your stereo likely calls fo a singler 4 ohm (4?) speaker per channel and the factory speakers may be lower than 4 ohms, or you have several speakers hooked up to the same channel. there should be 4 channels, each with no less than a 4 ohm (4? ) load. two 4 ohm speakers wired to the same channel in parallel (both attached to the amp's poositive/negative leads) will create a 2 ohm (2?) load, and overheat the amp. if the 2 speakers are a woofer/tweeter combination, and there is a capacitor involved, it may be ok, but 2 woofers, or a woofer and a subwoofer hooked to the same channel will likely reduce the ohmage below 4 ohms (4?). look at the back of each woofer speaker, and look for an ohmage rating stamped to the back of the speaker magnet to verify that they are 4 ohm (4?) speakers, and verify that only a single 4 ohm speaker is hooked to each channel. the car likely has multiple speakers hooled up to each channel, which would lower the ohmage rating below 4 ohms (4?).
