Amp turning itself off and on

[GrandPrixDriver 10+ year member]

I got a problem with my Pioneer GM-D8500M amp. This mourning when I played a song the subs turned on for about 15 seconds then it shut off and my amp went out. At first I thought it was maybe my battery so I drove the rest of the way to my location, turned my car off and about 20 minutes later I went to go turn my car on to see if the amp and subs worked. I turned the car on and the amp powered up for about 2 seconds then it seemed to shut itself off. Now when I drive my amp will turn on and after about a couple seconds it seems like it shuts itself off. What would be the problem? I do have a one year warranty on it.

is it going into protection?

I don't think so? I have had it for about a month now.

Loose remote wire perhaps

Loose remote wire perhaps

Thats a good possibility. Go back and doubble check all your wires, both ends.

Checked all that and still doing the same thing. I wonder if my amp might of over heat?

Edit: I called onlinecarstero and they said that the amp is probably fried and that I wouldn't be able to return it because of it's been over 30 days . I got an amp that doesn't work now, what do I do? I really don't want to pay for a new amp.
