For the current amp, you have 4g, or if you got a jbl600? 3,000 watts you would need some 0g wire, with a H.O alt. For 600 watts you would be fine with 4g. for the subs you don't need anything bigger then 14-16g cuz it wont make a diff. If your amp stays on when turned down, then turns off with the volume high, look to see if your driving your amp into clipping. Your grains on the amp, don't have them turned all the way up. That's a no-no.
If your amp is getting very hott, it's most likely going into protection mode. You need to ditch the amp. Burn it so no one else has your problem :) Get a better amp, check the FAQ section for the good, bad ugly thread. Make your new amp selection from that. It will be a day and night difference with a better amp.
