You're talking car audio. This is the home audio portion of the forum. Try the car guys. My guess would be you're loading the amp down with a too low impedance.
1. Too loud, too long. 2. Low impedance speakers. HT gear, for example, generally doesnt' like 4 ohm speakers. 3. Long run of too small a size speaker wire. Like 10 feet or more of 18ga. coupled with above: 4. Amp needs some ventilation. Enclosed spaces will Cook electronics. 5. Multiple speakers in parallel can cause impedance to drop below even what 2 ohm car stuff can handle.
