It sounds like a power supply failure. It needs to go to a repair shop.

I have a kenwood excelon xr-4s amplifier and in channel 1 and 2 i have front speakers, in 3 and 4 i have a infinity kappa doble coil 4ohm each coil. When i turn it on loud it shut down the amp and start on...

Since you have two dual 4 ohm voice coil subs, hopefully you had one sub wired in parallel to each channel separately (one sub on 3, one sub on 4). That way, each channel gets 2 ohms. If you have both subs bridged across channels 3 and 4 (left + and right -) then you have applied a 1 ohm load to your amp, which would cause the problem you're having. It's possible the amp has been damaged, but the fuses on the amp should have blown to protect the amp. Check your sub wiring to make sure you don't have a 1 ohm load bridged across channels 3 and 4. Also check the fuses on the amp itself to make sure neither of them have blown. If everything is fine there, check your fuse under the hood that's connected to your battery. That fuse could have also blown.

My sub woofer making noise like machine gun w out connect toamp

Disconnect the sub-woofer and see if the noise stops, if so the amplifier is OSCILLATING and so produces the noise.This can be related to fault with the pre-amp or audio processing section. Try and heat up the circuit using a hair dryer and if the fault clears then there are faulty electronic capacitors. If leak is seen then the pcb must be washed after the capacitor is replaced which can solve the issue.

Is it possible to hook the infinity bu-1 subwoofer to a home theater system where the subwoofer output is straight power say it"s like 25 watts coming out of that one channel and before the original...

In general higher speaker impedance is safer than lower impedance for the amp. Don't expect anything impressive re: audio output from a passive (unpowered) sub if your HTS says it pushes only 25 watts. Without frequency bandwidth and distortion noted the spec is virtually useless as a comparison.

The BU-1 is a powered sub that accepts either RCA Line Level or HIGH LEVEL amplifier power. If you use the latter, impedance is a non-issue because the input feeds the BU-1's internal amp, not the speaker directly. You should be okay.

Perhaps if we knew some specifics about the HTS we could do more than guess.

My First "experience" of getting soot embedded in my SAFETY GLASSES... WAS PLACING OF A MODERATE SIZED
"POLAR" filter capacitor in a pretty large RECTIFIER PANEL...

I HAD FOLLOWED the Circuit Drawing ...

I came out of the EXPERIENCE WITH AN ENDURING

Wear them...!!

Infinity BU-150 has deep hum soon as plugged in

most likely it's your signal cable. You might first try plugging the sub into the same power outlet as the preamplifier, if it is not already.

Good luck,

Subwoofer "thumping" w. no audio feed

You need to check your ground connection. If there is a bad ground there will be feedback to the amp and it will just sit there and loop back with the Thump, Thump, Thump sound. I had to wire my amp's ground all the way back to the negative battery terminal. It was a pain but I have never had a problem since :)
