kicker amp problem help? I'm out of ideas

Ight so I got 2 Kicker L7s powered by a zx1500.1. Everything is 2 ohms all good right?so i've had these guys for about a year now and i've noticed a huge change in my Amp.

Now, if I play it for 2 hours or more at a mid volume or not even a min of hard bass my sub amp only will shut off and go into safty mode I think, well it flashes green light.

My first thought was over heating so I remounted the amp for better air flow. But it has still done it since I made that change.

My next thought and my question is power. I got an optima deep cell battery and a 5 fared cap. But this is in a 01 Honda accord and my car only can give me 80 amp from the alternater, I do know that is amp wants 140 amp to run right. I have only tryed trying my gain up beyond what I should a hand full of times.

Like a dumb *** I forgot about my cap in the past when I replaced my battery. So now I can only think that I've damaged either my cap or my amp but from what I know if they where they would not work at all.

So what's up homies any one know anything about this or got any ideas for me?

 
what size power wire are you using. I had a 1992 honda accord running that same amp at 2 ohms with a yellow top in the trunk and had no problems, never shut off once. Check the ground and get a dmm and check to see if the voltage is dropping really low?

 
My wire from the battery to the trunk is a 1 then it splits into 4s to go to my four channel and my cap, the wires that go to the cap then go to my sub amp. My wiring kit was deisgnd for 2 amps and up to 4000 watts of power.
