Sub broken?? Or is it the Amp? What's going on?

Ok, thought i'd revisit this issue now that it is a little longer down the track.
Now channel 3 is starting to cut out the sub, but not very often.
Now my car is mostly parked outside, in the sun (yay), so I am starting to think that if I buy another amp, the heat could still cause problems for this aftermarket component.
Rememebr that this is currently a pov pack amp (power acoustik). Will upgrading to a brand name ie. kenwood, pioneer etc. solve this problem permanently, or will the heat from my boot cause it in my next amp?

Different amps have different protection circuits, and when protection kicks in. I would say this has something to do with the limits of the amp (be it current or heat).

So, yeah, basically a decent name-brand amp *should* be fine with your car.....afterall they are designed to be mounted in cars and i assume the designers realise cars get pretty hot ;)
