Yeah I'm with Bill, that doesn't really sound like an individual amp issue. But who knows, maybe it is.
Just for clarification...that 0ga you are running is under the hood and grounding the amps right? And how are the grounds connected? Are the connected firmly and securely or are they half-assed?

I still bet you have a grounding issue. Have you checked for ground potential? I believe that's what it's called.

if the jl was doing the same thing there is some serious wire problem or something. unless your clipping the hell out of them.
